Hi Burnout, How do you know its the starter motor and not the battery or cables? Regards John

sounds like we need a starter motor current draw test to evaluate ur starters condition.this can b done at any shop w a charging an starting system analyzer.if ur stater is drawing more than250 amps to325a or even higher amperage draw ur starter motor is bad..on a northstar the starter is under ur intake manifold,not an easy job,if u have the other caddy motor then starter can b changed from under car. not too bad to change,on a lift of course
