Have it professionally rebuilt.
Is there ANYWHERE in the US that does this ?
Permanent magnet starters are really very simple. The only wear items are the bearing, the brushes and the commutator. While the windings need to be tested for sort and opens (not likely if the commutator does not have excessive wear) they do not commonly fail.
Clean the commutator bars with 200+ grit every cloth. Replace the brushes. Replace the solenoid (if you can find a replacement).
I will probably rebuild the old starter since I have more then one truck that uses the same starter. I don't know if the starter is actually bad it might be the solenoid. Have to pull the starter to get to it so will just change it out.
