Default 1993 F250 won't start

I have a 1993 F-250 7.3L IDI diesel. It had been running fine on the Interstate for about 3 hours. I stopped to buy fuel, and now it will not start. Just clicks. Is it the starter????

I had an 87 f-250 that would do that on occaision, it was the small wire on the starter solenoid, hope that helps.

agreed -- check to see if there's a bad ground connection
