when I had recent starter problems: Check your grounding straps from the battery to chassis and chassis to engine. I had an engine ground strap that was attached to an exhaust bracket and the bracket itself was loose. Changed two starters because of it. Someone here on this forum pointed out the problem to me.

The original symptom was a slow starter (not due to cold weather ).
