i am HATING my truck right now

[1983shorty]

well i got my rebuilt engine and trans in the truck now. looks sweet. almost ready to fire the thing up. tightened up the nut on the starter for the pos. cable wires.......crack ! plastic on solenoid cracks. grrrrrrrr pull the starter........ pain with the headers i got.........go to napa and get the $70 lifetime warrenty starter. i am taking no chances. even made a nice heat shield for the starter. get the header and starter on and try the starter out. click click click. wth....put charger on battery......clean all connections check all grounds.....try it again click and a humming sound wtf ! pull header off and play with shims . no luck. pull stater and use jumper cables to try it...works great. 3 hours and a lot of cussing and even throwin some tools and i cant get the engine to crank and inch ! wtf ! in 25 years of workin on cars i have never had this kind of luck with a lousy starter.
