Default Starting sometimes

Hey all I am new to the forum and have found many use full topics with issues with my blazer. I have searched for my new problem and have not pin pointed the thread. So here it is, I have a 2001 4door 4x4 with 70,000 miles. Just bought it and have done a few mods including K&N induction, Flowmaster 40, and a handfull of other new parts including rebuilt transmission. My latest problem is that about 1 and 10 time I go to start my truck it will not start. Everything comes on with the key it just wount turn over. I have tried neutral and everything, I can cyle the key about 5 or6 times and then it will turn over and start. I dont know where to start looking could it be the starter? Any help?

Sounds like a failing ignition switch to me!

I checked att connections and everything is tight and not cracked. Is there any way to tell for sure that it is the ignition switch?
