Do I have a bad starter???

[Scarsman]

On my 2005 it is on the passenger side. I would try hoooking up jumper cables real quick and just see what happens. If it still clicks, then try putting power directly to the starter. You can jump across the solenoid on the starter and see if it is bad, but you need to know the correct two posts to do it with. One will be the large one with the cable coming from the battery. I have not looked that close on this truck so I don't know how many other posts there are. Some have just one small post, some have two or three. One of the small post will activate the starter when power is applied to it. If you can make it work that way, then you know the solenoid is bad.
