Is my starter relay toasted?

In the last 1.5 years I have replaced my glow plug relay, batteries, starter, and alternator. Now the truck is having problems starting. Sometimes when I turn the key- nothing. There is plenty of juice. I hear the audible click in the front right portion of the hood. To make it run I have to jump the two posts on the starter relay with my keys. But that didn't work last night and I was stuck at the gas station for an hour! Finaly got that to work and the truck then started just fine.

Sound like the starter relay?

The GPC solenoid is BWD P/N gpr11..IIRC the starter solenoid is EXTERNALLY grounded and the GPC is INTERNALLY grounded. I thought someone posted the wiring for the "new" style starter solenoid.
