Is my starter dead?

Is my starter dead?
I jumped in my truck and turned the key and all I got was a grinding noise like the starter was getting voltage but not turning over. It has been pouring lately but its dry under the hood.
How do I know if my starter is the problem or something else? And, is it reasonably easy to replace it myself or is this something that requires a mechanic. I've never replaced one before.
Thanks,
David

RE: Is my starter dead?
try crossing the solenoid and see if the starter spins, if so you have a bad solenoid, if not then you could have a bad starter or connection to the starter. The starter isnt hard to replace-2 bolts and 1 wire. Please remember to disconnect the battery before removing starter cable, safety first.
