i know it sounds stupid and too simple, but check your battery terminals. make sure they're clean and have good contact. my last rig would do the same thing.

do you have check lights coming on when you turn on the ignition? if so, sounds like it could be your starter relay. if you have a test light and extra set of hands, stab the tester into the smaller wire coming from the starter with the other end on a good ground, then have someone try to turn it over. if you get power (tester lights up) then relay is good so check wires to starter making sure they're clean with good conection. if still nothing, then drop the starter and take it to auto zone or what not.

the starter relay is on the passenger side bolted to the inside of the fender above the wheel well.
if it doesnt light up the first time, then test the wire that goes to the relay to the ignition.
