Hello List

Well the ol' Snugvagaon got us to Chicago (from Alfred) but alas the starter
became skittish on the way.  After spending 45 minutes getting 'er started
after a roadstop we decided to cancel the layover and drive straight through
to avoid another start.

Got a new starter drop-shipped second day air from Busdepot (excellent
service over the phone from "Mary"... give 'er some kudos Ron).  Old starter
out, new starter in... van still behaves the same.

I hear the fuel pump engaging and I get a hum but no selonoid click when I
try to engage the starter.  I'm about to head out to check the ground
connections and the shift lever idiot switch.  Any other suggestions?
