Hope this helps.
P.S. Check out the prices on the Ultima starters. You can save some good money there!!!

Not on his 07. I watched the dealer swap mine out during a trouble shooting session. 45 minutes max to take the old one off and put the new one in, test it, then take the new one back out and replace the old one.

Bolts and wires.

Although you said the battery was replaced, are you sure all the cable connections are good? (voltage drop test). Sometimes where the cable goes in the lug gets corroded and wont allow full voltage to the starter. Just a thought.

I would put star washers under the heads of the bolts and use blue loctite.
