First important question is what do the battery cables look like? If you have a bad cable or connection it can cause this issue.
The starters have changed over the years. Sounds like you have a new style which should work better than the old ones.

The cables are about 1 yr old i replaced all them when i put new batteries in and they are a size larger than was originally on her............. not sure what you mean by new style starter the one on her is slightly offset. The new ones from autozone will not work the bendex will not reach the fly wheel for some reason
