I just pulled my starter and I will take it to AutoZone get tested tomorrow. It took two hours to pull the starter. The hoses and tubes on my '98 (63k miles) did not want to separate. If they had, I could have had the starter out in an hour.

The car squelled at every start and it turned over very slow... so I feel it necessary to pull the starter and have it tested. AutoZone can get me a "remanu" for $130 and the old starter.

I will update when I know if its the starter or not... but the bendix is dry and it doesn't sound good when I turn it by hand.
