Starter problems

Just replaced batteries on my 1982 Chevy pu. It has the 6.2 diesel and the starter just clicks sometimes when I turn the key. I put the charger on it and put the 50 amp boost on and it will turn over. Can anyone give me some advice on why this happens sometimes. Thanks

Re: Starter problems

A diesel engine has extremely high compression so the starter and all related components must be top notch condition. The list is very long.. Did this problem exist before the battery change? Assuming both batteries together are producing at least 1500 - 1800 CCA, and fully charged.. The cables and battery posts should be very shiny where they connect to each other, including where the cables connect together.. The solenoid could be bad.. The starter itself could be bad.. It's at the bottom of the list but don't rule out internal engine problems.
