Had a similar problem, a buddy kept telling me it was the battery cables even though they had been replaced recently and checked out. Replaced the solenoid and problem went away.

It's possible it could be the ignition switch.

Also this may seem like common sense, but make sure your battery tests out and is OEM rated for your truck. My trucks' previous owner had an old underrated car battery in there, that had a dead cell. Was causing several intermittent electrical issues. Also check for battery drain with a test light.
