Sounds exactly like a dead spot that has got worse. Once you have it
only time before the starter gets to where you are now. I'd check the
wiring as suggested and if you don't find anything go for the starter. I
don't know what they cost for the Dodge trucks but it has to be better
than the $400 I just paid for to replace the one on my wife's diesel new
beetle.

Sounds kinda like mine. If I beat the living crap out of the starter
with a
hammer/screwdriver handle, the thing has eventually started in the past.
However, I don't want to have to carry a hammer around in the truck.
Also,
the first time I did it, I only had to whack the thing a couple times to
get
it to work, then this time, I had to strike at LEAST 25 times to get
things
going. I think I'm just going to replace the whole thing. The plunger
flange is rather munged. The two contacts that the plunger hits are
also
extremely worn, plus the elecrtic motor itself looks rather "well
travelled".
