HOW was the starter tested?
Point is, did Autozone have a way to LOAD the starter like it would be in an engine, (having to work to crank the engine) or is it free-spinning?The starter was tested at autozone they hooked it up on the solenoid like it gets wired on the truck
Off-the-car testing of alternator, starter, battery is REALLY common, but it's a crap way of testing. On-the-car testing is much more effective--and almost no one does that any more; at least not folks who post on forums.
Voltage-drop (VD) testing like Frank Enstein suggested is an effective way to test the integrity of the cables 'n' connections. Very recommended. I would have allowed up to .5 volts of VD.
