Starter Problem Help/Update "dont you just skip over the thread"!!!
so after hitting it a couple times lightly with a rubber mallet, the jeep started right up. so i ordered a new starter, and it came in today, the same day as the jeep died again. so i pulled off the heat shielding and the small yellow wire was disconnected. so i reconnected it and the jeep started fine again. do i still need to replace the starter? or is it ok? i have a feeling that it was just a disconnection problem

Loose wires are no fun. Always reclean contacts with wire brushes/files etc. and make secure connections. I often use a Conductive lubricant. I use it on my boat and model trains where metal touches metal in connectors etc. Great on clamped wires too in places where the elements may cause corrosion.
Fair warning: if the grease can contact other electrical components it will cause a short.
Here is an example of the product:
