Most good auto parts stores have a tester that will determine if your starter is bad. I'd venture a guess that in more cases than not, a new starter wasn't the issue, but the removal and cleaning of the starter connections actually fixed the problem.
The grinding you hear may be the 'bendix' not fully extending and engaging the flywheel properly, you may need only the solenoid.

It needs tested on the truck.
If grinding and not turning the engine check flywheel teeth and starter drive.
If clicking check cable connections and and battery voltage and solenoid.
