and forgot to say I melted the nd off my ground from the battery once, gott diff. wire in it now...

I'm probably not much help, but I'd start with that replaced wire and then check all connections and cables, along with the battery. Good luck!

I had the same problem last weekend while I was towing. I blamed my 10 month old Hi-torque mini starter. Replaced the starter, and had the same problem! I turned out to be a bad battery! My mini-starter is back in and doin' fine with my new Interstate battery!

Sounds like batt. Put a digital volt meter on the battery and measure voltage while cranking engine over. If i drops below 10 volts, your battery is whacked. My truck will still start with a dead cell in the batt and the CVR mini starter, but not a change in Hell that a GM starter will.

He told me on MSN, that the battery only had 8 volts, while on the charger, I think we've figured out his problem, hopefully.
