Default Intermitten starting issue

2008 Silverado 5.3l Flex have had intermittent starter issues since purchased. Approx. every 2 years replacement of relay. 2years ago new starter. I turn key and dash lights up as normal and then lights go out and dash darkens. No noise under hood. Can anyone suggest why this would occur approx. every 2 years and not a constant issue.

The common causes for this problem are a break in the starter circuit's wiring, a faulty starter or a faulty solenoid. Before suspecting electrical or mechanical failures, however, ensure that the parking lever is in park and that electrical connections are clean and secure.
