I wish I could help more. If you were near here, I'd test & diagnose it for you, N/C. The new MidTronics testers will quickly & easily test your battery, test your starter draw, and even tell you if it has a bad connection.

I didn't mind to read all the comments, but get under there and check the connections to and from the starter.. You seem to have eliminated the battery and possible grounds.. I say it is a starter issue, loose wires/connections or your starter is on its way out...

Well I replaced the ground wires thinking they may have been a culprit but it did nothing other than my windows roll up quicker now the factory ground wire that went to the engine had some buildup in it so I thought it may be giving me a problem but now I have 2guage goin from the engine to the batt, and 4 guage to the frame and body so now I know its not the ground wires as well.
I would really like to fix this but I have no idea anymore

You should check the positive cable to the starter because if there is any corrison there it will have issues. What you could do is take a set of jumper cables and hook the one end on the positive post of the battery and the other on the starter and see if it turns over any differently.
