Initially no, then yes.

i'll update ASAP.

UPDATE:
We are back to intermittent no-crank:
i thought i had fixed the problem as i put in a new battery(thinking that was the problem) and it cranked and started right up.
This lasted about a week and then the same thing---no crank. This happened last monday. i didn't do anything and then yesterday i was able to crank it and start it. Also, it rained thursday night and friday morning. Also it rained all the previous week and it cranked o problem, so i don't think rain has anything to do with it at this point. Just a coincidence for the first two times it happened?
i don't think rain has anything to do with it.
i don't think the battery or starter is the problem.
i've enclosed the diagnostic chart from the service manual for reference:
Mike81K10:
Run a check on your battery to see what the condition is. If your alternator is bad it may not be charging as it should. Then you might consider that there is a draw someplace from your battery while it sits. Check out the wiring to ensure there is no corrosion or bad spots. There is a chance the starter might be going bad as well, the charging system and battery should be looked at first.
Mr Diesel:
Sounds like a worn out starter. Electrical connections worn out inside or just poorly manufactured.

Mikey he said it's a new battery... ::)
But you may be right about there being a draw that lowers CCA.
Pretty simple that the solenoid wire is responsible to fire the starter. I would start there, make sure the ground strap is good.
And finally, have you tried to start it in N? Could be something as simple as that.
