Turn the ignition and the engine barely cranks
I insert the key, turn the ignition and the engine barely cranks over, sometimes pausing as if there isn't enough power. However, new battery was installed last week. I wonder if it could be a starter issue (I've had plenty of those throughout the years with this truck).

You could have a starter that draws too much amperage or a bad ground. Check your grounds at the battery cables and check that the battery is fully charged. You may have an alternator problem. If the battery is fully charged check the starting and charging systems and that will tell you your problem.
