The cause 95% of the time is worn bronze contacts in the starter, itself. Buy a new set from you dealer, open up the starter, pull out the old contacts, and bolt 'er back together. My son and I have done this on 3 or 4 of our various pickups, and it has worked every time.

Not sure if its the starter or the battery? Check the battery at a store. They can do a check on it for free. If its good then the starter could be bad. Bad starters don't work or they work intermittently. Usually just ehear a click and then when you retry it starts. That's the symptoms. Most places can also check the starter for you.

My suggestion is to make sure that you have a good connection between your starter and your battery. Is the starter even functioning? If not, it is probably a bad starter, a bad battery, a bad fusible link for the starter, a blown fuse, or just a bad connection.
