Sorry I did'nt get back to you on the exhaust the other day,but there was,and still is a major family drama thing going on right now,that I can't go into.Just wanted to let you know I was'nt ignoring you man!

Replace the solenoid first. If that doesn't work replace the starter. Sounds like the bendix on the starter got stuck

yes you can change it. very simple. seeing how the soleniod is so much cheaper than starter imo i would try it first.
