".Rebuilding starter motors first check that the problem is really the starter. Rebuilt starters can run near $200 now days, but rebuilding it yourself is not hard. Measure the voltage over the starter itself while cranking, from the positive I put terminal on the starter to the starter housing. If it is not starting at all, no noise, no click, despite having 12V at both starter and solenoid,
. check connections to the solenoid, and then between solenoid and starter. Find the metal tab running from the outside of the soloed terminal and connecting the solenoid winding was sheared off. For more info go to http://industrial-depot.info/results/rebuilt-starter"
