intermittent starting mystery

Looking for some help to solve this mystery. My truck starts, usually. But sometimes it won't start. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It will be fine for a couple days, then I will go to start it and nothing. Of course this usually happens furthest from home.
I replaced the starter and cleaned and tightened the cables all around.
Any idea's?
thanks

A Friend of mine had the same problem While his truck was under warranty. Took it to the shop several time and finally they found the ground wire to be loose. You said that you check and clean the leads but you might want to check the ground again
