2003, 6.0,128K, original starter, I was towing a heavy trailer out of state, shut engine off at a gas station 2 miles from my destination. Truck started back up as normal. Continued on my way towing uphill. I backed in the driveway and shut it off for a half hour while unloading the trailer. Went back out, all lights came on with ignition, but no crank. I don't hear a click like a solenoid. I checked fuses, I got hung up on checking what looked like a solenoid on the passenger fender. Its a big relay, but now I;m thinking its for something else. I had to leave the truck out of state and was able to get a ride back. I won't be back there for two weeks. Should I bring a new starter? A 6.4 starter?

I would bring a new starter with you and from what I understand the 6.4 starter would be a good upgrade but the starter may not be bad, when you get back to your truck try cranking it over as shown in this video, if it cranks over using that starter wire then the problem is something else, if it does crank over with the starter wire then turn the key to the run position and crank it over using that wire and it will start.
Thanks for the reply, I did watch that video this morning and its very good.
Is there any where to get a close up pic of that connector?
Do you know what that solenoid on the fender well is for?
