I have moved this to the diesel forum in it's own thread so you can get the help you need.

Check the cable connections at the starter and where the main ground goes to the block. Make sure they are clean and tight.
If all looks good, you may just have a bad starter. Remove it and have it bench tested at an auto parts store.
