[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1577275, member: 7539"] Well I just wanted to bump this and thank everyone for their suggestions and help. I tested the solenoid at the hot side and had good voltage and then tested the switch side and it had good voltage when the ignition was turned as well. So, I pulled the starter, took it up to the local parts store and they ran their free test on some fancy machine. Starter just laughed at them. They wanted $139 + tax after core (out the door $154) for a lifetime warranty rebuilt replacement at pretty much all the stores. I didn't intend to buy one anyway but wanted to check the price for comparison. Took the starter down to Automotive Battery and Electric on 4th St. just west of Peoria near downtown just like several of you suggested (thanks Sol, I didn't even know they existed prior to this). I dropped it off around 1:30pm yesterday and when I went by there around 9:30am this morning, it was bright and shiny and looking good as new. They replaced the starter drive @ $12, the solenoid @ $24 and brushholder assembly @ $8. Labor was $26 and with tax and all total I have a better than new starter for $75 out the door in about a half a day. I installed it in about 15 minutes and it fired up first shot and sounds strong and solid. I AM MORE THAN PLEASED with not only the money I saved (50% of parts store prices) but also with the service and apparant quality of Automotive Battery & Electric. Bobby was the guys name that helped me and he was courteous, knowedgeable and helpfull. I did see Ron helping another customer this morning when I picked it up and he was all smiles and seemed very nice too. He took the time to thank me in addition to Bobby as I left even though he was busy with something else. Thanks again guys! I appreciate all of the guidance on here and would also highly recommend A,B&E. They also do alternators, power tools, DC motors of whatever kind, etc... [/QUOTE]
