Default Starter Issue

96 LT4 6-speed won't start. I have known good battery (just put in a new one) but when I turn the key to START I can hear what I assume is the starter motor spinning but there is no cranking. The noise stops as soon as I pull the key back from START.

Could it be anything other than a bad starter?

Check the electrical connections at the starter and solenoid. If there is a poor connection then it will not turn over properly.

If the solenoid is bad, the starter will turn but not engage the flywheel. Sounds like it may be time for a new starter or you can try to replace the solenoid itself.
