Pull the s/m

Remove the cover on the front (vehicle front, alright, closest radiator) of the solonoid

Remove the solonoid contacts and clean them with a file or replace if they're really bad. ~ $12 or so.

The starter motors on 2.8`s go at approx 90,000kms depending if it does lots of short trips or mainly long trips with.
