Starter Issues
When I turn the key, I hear a "click". This began about a month ago, but only happened about once a week. Now it takes about 10 tries to start the rig every time.
They Haynes manual helped me narrow it down a bit, but I want to check w/ others here who may have had the same issue.
The battery is brand new (and the problem existed prior to getting a new battery), and the starter cranks fine once it catches. So I'm wondering if it may be as simple as a loose connection between the positive of the battery and the solenoid on the starter.
Someone told me that it might be a lack of a spark from the distributor, but I think this year/engine is a distributorless setup. Any help's much appreciated!

Again, use the Search feature and you'll find additional things that others have experienced. You then can determine which things that people described best fits the symptoms of your truck.....they'll also state what they did to fix the problem.
Good luck,
David
