Truck has an intermittent starting problem. It will start fine for a month or so then it will just click, I have replaced the starter, etc. Had battery tested it was within normal limits. I was told it is a bad ground by somebody who knows his ford's. So, I was looking around trying to see if I could find it. What could it be the problem?

It could be a ground, but it sounds like the starter relay could be going out or you have a defective starter. Can I ask which brand the starter is? Here is the starter wiring diagrams and a guide to help you check the grounds etc. Also, I have included the starter relay location so you can replace it.

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
