So this is prefaced with a "I dont know much" statement...

I would check my battery terminal connections. I replaced an alternator and starter before i realized that some corrosion was going on between the wire cluster and the connector on the end (it was a cheap walmart connector that bolted down around the wires.) Check/clean between the battery terminal and the connector too. Theres a special brush tool for this (a couple bucks at the most...)

Hope that helps.

PS- You could also get out a multimeter and check that your getting full battery voltage between connections... Follow it up to the starter even.
