Truck Starting Issues...

Hello to all! Been along time since I've had the oppurtunity to post up on here but rest assured Im still alive and kickin

I Have an issue with the truck. I called Luke and Tim last night to pick their brains and so far we've come up with a few solutions but I wanted to check with the rest of you to see what your thoughts might be. I had the truck in the shop last night for an oil change and all went well. After the truck was filled back up we rolled it over and all was good. I shut the truck down after about 2-3 minutes and when I went to get in it to leave the truck would not roll over. The start clicks once and nothing more. I replaced the starter and still not rolling over. We put a ratchet on the crank pulley and rolled it over to make sure it wasn't hydro-locked and there was no trouble there. Whats the culprit? Im gonna check the starter relay and see whats up with that but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cowboy Steve

Checked the solenoid and it was good, checked the flywheel and it was good, replaced the new starter again and she fired right up! Thanks for your help Tim and Luke
