    Will a worn out Starter Pull more current

    Does anyone recommend a specific supplier for the starter motor. I could go to Advance or O'Reilly's. If there is a manufacturer that makes a better one, I would be interested, thanks, Lee.

    I got it loose with a 6lb small hammer, started and drove around, engaged the 4x4 and parked in the driveway, then re-started her up.

    Thanks for the help I thought I must have posted in the wrong place after receiving no replies. I had a friend turn the key while I was under the car, I could feel the starter clicking, but won't spin. The Relay clicks also, I tried attaching jumper cables in-case the battery was loosing power...
