problem,my truck will not crank..unless i hook up the jump/charger and a extra battery and maybe it will engage the starter without clicking a 100 times? i changed the starter one time(used)..i checked the ground and thats fine..is it the starter? the truck will click but will not crank.is it my starter?

story:when i was changing my starter,i broke a rusty fuel line,as i was fixing the fuel line i broke my clutch pressure line(rusted).this is fun.

if its clicking when trying to start it ........its the starter contacts

Have someone crank it over while you bang on the starter solenoid and see if it fires. If that helps, then consider a new solenoid, but also check wires too.

My truck occasionally will just click when trying to start it, and banging on the starter usually makes it start. Should I go ahead and get a new starter?

I am going through this right now too...I replaced the contacts..still woulndt crank.
I replaced the starter and broke something else.

The truck turns over now but will not run.

it could be the contacts or in my case the bendix shaft was toast

3rd starter and hooked up my marine battery,and bang it started first shot.took it for a ride and everything went great except when i was backing into the driveway i blew a rusted brake line,

i recently fragged a starter motor. The solinid would engage the gear would pop out but not spin.

i think that was my problem,i work at a salvage(junk) yard and kept grabbing bad starters.ohwell,my next project is how to repair brake lines. i think i can get a brakeline flaring kit at autozone for like $25, i hope
