Try putting your battery on a trickle charger till its fully charged. Sounds like with all the sitting it does that the battery might be low on charge. If that helps you can buy a trickle charger to install on your truck that when plugged in while truck not in use for long periods of time it will keep your battery fully charged without over charging it.
