Starter failure, new one on the way

Today Santa broke down the in work parking lot on my first day (sucks)! Talk about embarrassing. Anyways, the engine wouldn't crank, just a loud click would emanate from the engine bay when I would turn the key. I attempted a jump, but that didn't work. The battery seemed to be fully charged, the lights and horn worked without issue. Assuming the click was from the starter relay or solenoid, I ordered a new high-torque starter from Summit Racing. I've decided that whenever a system fails on the truck, I'll upgrade rather than just replace OEM. This way every weak link on the truck will gradually be addressed. The starter should arrive in a few days.
