FWIW, my starter relay went out also in my rig. The problem was an intermittent no-start. I suppose that the relay could have burnt points in it reducing the efficiency of the high power connection giving you a slow starter spin.
Sounds like what you have is low current to the starter, that's why I mentioned the ground strap being bad or having corrosion on the ends.
