Default It just clicks... :(

So for the past about... 4 days when I start my truck, it has been turning over really really slow. It like lugs down and then starts. well today it did the same thing, only it didnt start and then it quit turning over. So i let it sit for a little bit then came back and started it up and it lugged down and then started. I shut it off, then started it again and it just lugged down and wont start. Now it just clicks... I checked the battery. Plenty of juice. Any ideas guys? I'm getting nausious cuz I'm 16 and have less than a thousand dollars in the bank. my parents wont help money-wise if anything goes bad so I'm SCREWED if i dont have my pickup up and running.

Your starter is bad probally.

Take it off and take it to a autoparts store and have it tested.

How did you check the battery because it may have the voltage present but not the amperage needed to start

All your symptoms in my experience points to battery

Have the battery tested too. Just because it has juice doesn't mean its got the cranking amps it needs

I know everything points to battery, BUT, the person at autozone said it was fine. Now whether or not that person has an IQ of more than 60...idk.

It doesn't click fast. Just once. Really loud.
