I have a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7 Express...168K on odometer but it had a new engine 21K ago and just about everything under the hood and suspension is new.

I have an issue when I try to start it sometimes... it clicks like a bad connection or starter and won't start. I replaced the starter and I've checked all the connections, and I don't see anything. Sometimes if I put it in neutral it will start, and it usually will start when I use my aftermarket remote start (although it has failed once or twice using it).

I'm thinking maybe ignition module.... what else should I be looking at?

Battery is another possibility, you can bypass win module for a diagnose, use the cig lighter relay to start the truck, push button start, all in around 20 bucks.
