Hopefully this is an easy one for you guys!

When I go to start the GMC I just get a clicking noise and the engine does not turn over, after multiple tries it will turn over and start right up.

So, is this the starter starting to go?

The battery is charged up and when it does engage the starter it turns over quickly just like normal. The connections are tight and clean but I will go back and clean them again just to see. I haven't had any problem until going out to start it the other day so not sure why it would have this problem all of a sudden.

If you have any suggestions of things to check or do that would be great.

Then if it is the starter is it better to get it rebuilt or replace with a new/rebuilt on from auto parts store?

Thanks,
