turn the key and just clicks....got 12.7v at each battery...you can hear the solinoid on the starter clicking like it should but no turn....dead starter?

It needs a turbo...
You need to check down at the starter for the voltage. If you are getting it there and have a good ground, the starter is bad.

Check your connections first, then troubleshoot from the solenoid to the starter.

both solenoids are working fine. i obviously got power going to the solenoid on the starter itself if that one is clicking...and not the fast clicking of a dead battery...
just not sure if the power is getting out of the solenoid on the starter and into the starter motor. the starter is only 2 yrs old from carquest...and has only been on the truck for a year (took that long for the first one to die)

Clean connections are only clean if they are shiney!.....I can't stress that enough....Do a voltage drop across all the connections between the batteries and the starter to make sure every is good....Check your grounds too....Tap the starter with a hammer while cranking to see if it engages.

well...finally had time to install today....
initial reports are correct as it is a bit more noisy then the original....however the engine spins over uber quick and fires right off....
the solenoid may in fact has been the culprit. when i went to remove the wires from the starter the end cap of the starter solenoid rotated within the housing a bit...
dunno....doesnt matter....my truck is running again and i can give my sister back her roach mobile of an exploder...
