Ignition/starter issues?

Hey everyone. 2016 Silverado 5.3 v8. When I go to start the truck it goes completely dead like the battery is completely drained. Battery is good and so is alternator. Checked connections on battery as well. This is an intermittent issue, took to a good local mechanic couldn’t replicate the issue. It’s happened a couple times in the last 4-5 days and what I have noticed the last couple times this has happened the truck will do as stated previously, but I can remote start the truck and it starts fine. I will also add once I do this, the truck with start fine by using the ignition. Never know when it will happen again because it’s at random times. Can’t find much online about anything similar and wondered if you all could lend me any of your expertise. Thank you in advance.

Welcome from Florida. Check your battery cables at both ends for looseness and corrosion. It would be a good idea to take them off and clean them really good at both ends.
