I bet your cables are going bad, or there is a wire junction on the driver fender with 5 wires coming from the cab to a sealed ruber thing with 2 wires going to the battery ive had lots of problems like this with mine and I eventually took a piece of copper drilled 2 holes and attached the wires that way and its been good ever since. it gets coroded inside and causes quite a few different problems. with mine, when I first got it it caused the truck to shut down randomly, then it caused the truck to do what you are decribing and I thought it was the starter, aand then it caused the headlights, radio, and heater not to work. im 90% sure this is your problem
