Default starter question on 2000 ram 1500

Hey everyone,

I have a little problem that has knocked my truck out of commision for a little bit. One day the truck wouldn't start. When you try to turn it over, it only clicks once. I put my fingers on the starter relay and could feel it click once. It's not the battery because the lights don't dim and the radio stays fine when I try to turn it over. I bought a new starter relay and that didn't seem to do anything.

I'm thinking it's the starter. However, I'm horrible at truck maintenance and I was hoping someone knew if it sounds like the starter IS the problem. If so, how do I find out what I need and how to remove it so I can get it tested and (hopefully not) replaced?

Thanks everyone for the help in advance.
