First: Remove negative terminal on battery so you have no potential voltage at the starter.

It is one of the easiest of jobs doing yourself. First, jack up the front passenger side of the truck. Remove the tire. Now, carefully remove the rubber/plastic skirting in the fender well to expose the side of the engine where the starter is. Remove the two "easy to reach bolts" holding the starter in place. Unplug starter at connector. Remove main cable from battery but "remember the position/direction it is in to avoid difficulty" with the re-installation of new starter. Reverse process & surpise, job well done. Skirting might be old, so have large fender washers and self-tapping screws to re-attach skirting into place if plastic tabs are broken. Note: Be careful screws don't puncture anything on the other side. 1/2 long screws work well. Paint flat black to hide and reinstall the tire. Great job.
