Bad parts from stock perhaps? Replaced starter with new one ran good for a month and now making noise again? The starter you purchased did it require shimming?? Usually starter clicking is dead battery and solenoid not engaging starter to turn eng over. Make sure you have all your connections nice and tight, shimmed if need be and a good battery. Problem still there..take that starter back and get another one.
