Re: Truck won't start for 15 minutes following shutoff
"Doesn't crank" is ENTIRELY different from "Cranks slowly".
"Doesn't Crank" is sometimes a fault in the starter solenoid, but more often a result of high resistance from battery to the ignition switch or ignition switch and the starter solenoid "S" terminal.
The typical response it to install a relay on the fender so that the vehicle wiring only has to trigger the relay, the relay triggers the starter solenoid. There are a couple of ways to do this. I have a "Ford" relay on the fender of my '88. Other folks prefer the smaller "Bosch" relay. A search for either should produce a wiring diagram. Very common.
Another option is to bite the bullet, do voltage-drop testing to find the faulty wiring, and replace the wire or clean the connections from battery, through ignition switch and ending up at the starter solenoid "S" terminal.

Ten trillion to start with, increasing as needed from there, PLUS compensation for the sickened, and "wrongful death" settlements for the families of those who didn't survive. END trade with Communist China.
