Awful grinding noise while attempting to start

[jjuriga]

So my plan was to start with replacing the battery connections... even though I figured it was the starter. They needed it anyways. After getting all the cables and terminals replaced, I went to get a feel for the bolts on the bottom of starter and who would've guessed: both damn bolts were loose and the whole starter had play.

Bolted that ***** back up and BOOM! Runs beautifully!
