This is gonna sound rather dumb, but I noticed these problem started
when the weather got real cold. Now I know Dodge has a real great
factory battery :-P and I'm thinking that the cold is killing or
freezing maybe a cell or two in the battery and making the truck hard to
start and stay running for the first few minutes. Mine did that in the
first 13 months (dead cell). Got a new Delco 1000 amp battery, and it
went away. Check your batteries. get them tested first, and don't get a
dealer replacement. They're POS!! But what do I know, I live in SUNNY
and WARM So Cal :-P!!
