Need help.

Have a 2000 7.3 w 163k on it. We maintained and drives strong.

This morning I started the truck up and let it idle for about 20 min. All good.

Now I just tried to start it and nothing. Wont even try to turn over. Turn the key and nothing. I noticed a faint noise like a hum-buzz that went away once the wait to start light went off.

Batteries are both good so I know its not that.

Could the starter just crap out like that?

Any suggestions where to start?

The faint `hum-buzz' you're hearing is the (1) vacuum pump and/or (2) fuel pump... you should hear those components when you take the key to Run but they're unrelated to the starter.

Just to be thorough, ensure voltage makes it from the relay to the (+) terminal on the starter. And you might as well clean the terminal connections too. But you're probably looking at a failed starter.
