Starting problem with `98 F150
The truck has a new battery and plenty of power. Turn the key and you get one click. Turn it again and it starts. I'm thinking its the starter or a solenoid. Can anyone who has dealt with this give me info before I crawl under there and start replacing parts?

Those Ford starters tend to cook after a while. They are real close to the exhaust. Usually the heat shield falls off. Was a big problem with the early '90's ones they had a ceramic shield over them.
