okay so outa no where i get a very weird start. drove my 04 about 15 miles no problem, about 2 hours later i go to start it up again and it struggles to crank, almost like a slipping noise but very suttle and kind of quiet. it sounds like its just gonna die out on me but somehow when i let back on the ignition the engine actually kicks on. then i start hearing a clicking noise as the engine warms up and notice all the gauges are all on the bottom bouncing up and down (just a little bit). That only lasts about 5 seconds then the gauges go to their respective positions. Everything electrical works fine on or off, possibly a bad starter or some sort of worn down gear??? In the morning ill start by checking out the wires and hopefully test the battery.
Any inputs would be awesome thanks!
 






id start with getting the battery tested,these trucks act funny when the battery is weak
