mouse, sounds like your starter relay might be acting up?

could be and depending on where you live as most know with older vehicles sometimes certain parts corrode and it doesn't take long and as Mangus mentioned Relays are notorious, one minute fine the next capoot!!

be glad.... usually they stick closed!! letting your truck crank forever

yes and talk a bout a noise you will never forget, on older vehicles especially some like we deal with here, a regular pm and maintenance schedule is a really good idea, check areas and parts that you would normally just pass over or would never think to check otherwise... Im that way with my CTD dodge, at least 3-4 times a year i crawl underneath her and just lay there on my back looking, you would be surpised what you can see if you are there long enough.
