Did you check the voltage at the solenoid, maybe it is low? It's easier to check than down at the starter.
How did you check the starter when you had it off?

[QUOTE=ExPACamper;16136024]Your starter gets its ground from the mounting bolts. Are you sure it is on tight?

How did you check the starter when I hooked it up to a battery

You have thrown a bit of money chasing this problem. A classic case for why one should diagnose and systematically troubleshoot a problem. At this point I would go to your battery connections starting with your grounds. I do not know exactly where those batteries ground so I can't direct you right to them but unbolt them at the block and thoroughly clean them. Check the condition of the wires where they meet the connectors, there could be corrosion and degradation of the wire there. I usually apply grease to such connections when I have them off but others may have opposing thoughts on that act.

If your ground is bad, it might all be running down that new ground wire now.
Better check out the battery to engine ground and the bolts on the starter.
