Older gen Toyota trucks are notorious for needing the starter tapped once in a while.
hrm... the starter on the shitbucket has been acting up lately, but I've always been able to get it going by just waiting a minute and trying again. I made the mistake of driving about 1/2 mile with the starter spinning. Yeah. Its a loud truck, I didn't notice until I stopped at a traffic light. h:
My friend had this problem on his truck last week. Like with you, we would only hear a single click and that was all. The single click we heard was coming from the relay, not starter.
After I wacked his starter with a hammer, it started right up.
