I haven't started my truck in two days and this morning I I turned the key on, waited for the grid Heaters to run and turned the key over and it was dead. After about 4 or 5 times of turning the key on and running the grid heaters it started up no problem. Do you think it's just the batteries?

Doesn't sound like a battery issue, if that was the case it wouldn't turn over. Grid heaters use a lot of battery power. Maybe cycling the key got your fuel pressure up to par, or it was really cold enough to need the extra intake heat.

Check your terminals I've been hearing a lot of people saying dirty or corroded battery terminals or weak battery's can cause strange issues

if it did not crank at all, I would think it may be the neutral safety switch. Do you occasionally need to tap the shifter towards park or try it in neutral?

Had the same problem , it turned out to be a security module. If it happens again, and I found out it will, and it will not start disconnect both batteries for about 30 sec. then rehook. Up in Canada at the dealer it will cost you $550. I know. Good Luck.
