Had some intermittent no-cranks last week and realized the starter switch nuts were a bit loose. Tightened em up and all was good.
Was hauling chit around today and it was warm, engine temp around 200* and had to shut off the engine a few times for various things. Started getting the same intermittent no-crank again.
The starter switch nuts seem to still be tight.
Just hopped into the truck again, truck is cold and has been sitting for 8 hours, to test out the ignition and there don’t seem to be any problems cranking now.
Any y’all know of heat or engine temp having an impact on starter switch behavior?
Regardless I’d like to install a push button start to just bypass the key at this point. Know a lot y’all have done it. Am not finding any good threads on how to do so though, this one linked below has some good info but I still have questions.
Is it possible to keep the keyed ignition stock while also adding the push button?
It seems using a two-pole On/Off switch is what’s suggested but am unsure on wiring specifics. Any fuses recommended?
Am sure it’s spelled out in other threads so if anyone can point me in the right direction it’s appreciated.

Push button start help
How can I get wire through the firewall easiest way? What is simplest way to wire it? Also truck shudders real bad sometimes like it is choking out? I'm wandering from some of Mel's comments if it is leaky injectors... any thoughts?
