No start - Dead battery symptoms VS starter solenoid or relay?

[CZSteve]

Truck will not crank / start.
This afternoon upon starting my 2009 1500 5.7 Hemi (220k miles) the engine had a brief hesitation / slow-start; just as normally expected when a battery is going south - I went straight home and upon parking & shutting off I tried to restart only to get a very short/limited attempt at cranking and then the solenoid click. My battery has some miles on it, windows were 'seemed' slow to close and given the extreme heat we've been having just presumed time for a new battery.

However, still no-start with a new AGM battery; key turn resulted in a brief solenoid click but then after trying again not even a click.
Also tried jump starting that did not help and do not have any codes.

So now I'm 'assuming' I have a bad solenoid or 'wondering' if I have a bad starter relay.
I'm not finding separate starter solenoids, only complete starter/solenoid packages - but at least pricing for a complete package is not that bad.

Any other thoughts asides from starter/solenoid and/or relay/?
Right now plan replacing all of above.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Steve

To me it sounds like you have a bad starter, could be a relay though.
