Back on the road.  Cleaned all grounds and popped the new starter in.  Also
replaced a piece of FI hose that I didn't like the looks of.  Found a
coolant hose that had rubbed through on the DS rear axle,I guess, and
replaced that, too.
Took pics of the two electrical connections on the spade connectors on the
solenoid before I took off the old one, but still hoping I got them in the
right order cuz I could not discern from the pic from my phone when the time
came to reinstall.
Starts right up and, per my VoltMinder, I am getting 13.7 or 13.8 while
driving on both batteries so I guess I got it done.
I lost some coolant when I replaced the hose, but captured it and refilled
the system.  Took a drive and temp stayed put, but I am sure I will have to
bleed it.
Now on to the Weed Eater(that went on the fritz last weekend) and grlll a
couple of steaks..
P.S.  I could be Turkey and quail hunting but missed my time slot due to
extra work on the van.  Guess I will hit the State Park and watch the leaves
turn.  Maybe enjoy a nite in the Texas Hill Country now that the weather is
gettting cooler.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
