Jumping in Feet First

This is my first formal introduction of all the forums I've logged on to. So, hello to all of you. I joined the Chevy/GMC club last year with the purchase of a '98 GMC Suburban 7.4 liter 4x4 2500. I love the power and capacity of the truck, though the gas mileage is a downer.

Lately the truck has been having problems starting. Sometimes it starts great. Sometimes it dies immediately after starting. Sometimes it acts like it has a dead battery (sounds like fast clicking). I bought a jump box just to get me through the troubles. I've had the battery and alternator tested. So now I've changed the starter and hopefully the problem is solved. If not then the next step will probably be to give up and have a pro look at it since I really don't have time to do any more myself.
