Truck doesn't start...

Back a when the snow had drifted a few feet deep I cleaned off the truck and drove it to get it warmed up and keep the battery charged.  I try to do this arround everythree weeks or so - so two weeks ago I went to do the same - no start.  I charge the battery, no start.  I clean the battery terminals - no start - just clicing.  I change the batter terminals - no start (no cranking) - the battery is charge but I try to jump start - no cranking.  With the jummers attached - I short the upper starter solenoid - no crank.


So I look underneath - connections look clean and dry so either the start is dead or the plunger solenoid is stuck - I tap the plunger with a hammer - no start.  Now I need to replace the starter and lets see if that fixes it.
