All stock except for Amps and a bumper mount light bar
Recently did fuel filters/oil change - purge was successful, started up fine. The last couple of days when I start it with the key it sort of turns over/dies/turns over/dies 2 or 3 times before it starts. Thinking it was battery, I cleaned 2 really crusty terminals. When I cleaned them yesterday it then started fine. Left it overnight and it did the turn over/die thing again today.
Whats really bizarre is that if I use the remote start, it cranks right up to life, no hesitation or stutter. Batteries are OEM as far as I can tell.
Trying to figure out next steps - it's been rainy and wet here in South Texas the last week or so, and I haven't had a chance to test the batteries, although both indicators are green. It's almost like a stuck starter.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
