Yep, don't blame you, I like to do all my own work as well. Can I ask you if the security light is flashing when you try to crank the truck over? Also, we need to run the codes to see what comes up. You can get a code scanner from Amazon for about $20.00.
Here is a guide/video to show you how:

If no codes come up, I would say the starter motor or starter relay is bad.
Here is a guide to help test the relay and its location in the diagrams as well:

If the relay checks out this is how you change the starter motor. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
