Bad starter?
Went out to run to the store in my 03 V10 X and no start. Things I have checked:
Battery voltage is fine ( 12.6 VDC at battery while turning the key )
Tried using a jump pack just to make sure
Tried starting in neutral
Tried wiggling shifter
Banging on starter
I can hear the starter make a click sound when the ignition is turned all the way. I assume the started is DOA?

Is there a preferred one? OEM? Or will AutoZone / Napa, etc.. be acceptable? Which Ford dealer do we get the best discount?

For the archives, it was indeed a bad starter. I replaced it with a new one and she fired right up. 
If you end up changing one there are 3 bolts that hold the starter in place, and the top one is not fun to get at!

Glad you got it going again!!!
I know about the third bolt, it applies to both our trucks apparently. That's why I bought a gear reduction starter with only two bolts on it. MUCH easier to replace...(it's a diesel thing though)
