Got it, lol! That's a rock climbing grade which would make you a pretty hardcore climber is why I ask. BTW, thank you for your service sir

I had the same issue on my 96. Went through 3 starters trying to figure it out and would still just get one single click. It turned out to be a bad engine ground. When I pulled the engine ground off it didnt look dirty at all but I roughed it up with some scotch bright just to be sure and the thing fired right up. Havent had an issue since. I know you said you looked at your grounds but try scrubbing them up with scotch bright to see if it helps!

BOOYAH KASHAW!!!!!

Connected the jumper cables from the battery to the starter rerouting both the ground and the positive and it fired up like it wasn't even a thing. Totally appreciate all the help and the advice for things to check. Now I get to put it all back together this weekend. On the plus side, I've got an extra starter too:-/

So, what did you fix? Sounds like you verified it was either the battery to the starter connection or a ground from the starter to engine block to the chassis?

So I went back to verify whether it was the battery to starter wire, or a bad ground.

First, I removed the jumper cable positive connection from the battery to the starter solenoid terminal. I left it for the negative battery terminal to the case of the starter to see if it was a bad ground connection. Tried to turn it over and only got the click again.

Reconnected the positive battery terminal to the starter solenoid terminal with the jumper cables and removed the other "ground test" cables. Tried to turn it over again and it fired right up.

So, it appears it was the battery to solenoid terminal connection all along. Going to go through it all today and check everything along that wire. I did the Big 3 upgrade a while back, as previously mentioned, so it could be just simply the terminal connection or maybe the wire is going bad.

I'll update the thread once I know specifically what it was.
