hey guys,

my starter on my 454 is starting to act up:

sometimes (seems more often when the engine is hot) the starter will click when i crank the ingition, and then go silent.

i have to repetidly crank it to get the truck going (when it happens)

am i right to guess that the starter solinoid is on its' way out??
