My wife went out today to try and start the truck and it only clicked once. I asked her if it was the battery, but she said no bc all the lights work great and the radio works fine. She said it only clicked once.... I told her to pop the starter with a mallet and after she popped it twice it fired right up. She turned the truck off to try and restart it and clicked again no start. She popped it with the mallet and it fired right up. After that a buddy of mine took the starter out and whent to autozone to buy a new starter. The guy at auto zone tested it and said the starter was fine and strong... What to check?
