make sure you have a good battery and good connections at battery, and the block ground, and starter.
Do the starters make noise after it's running? you might need to shim it the pinion might stay stuck and over heat it. try a voltage drop test between the battery and starter wire while cranking if there is a significant drop the wire is corroded and resistive. Maybe you're just unlucky with the junk starter, and the remanufactured one. Remanuf starters are always hit or miss, ive gotten 2 bad starters in a row before. They sell rebuild kits for starters that are cheaper than a new starter which replaces all the contact points inside that get corroded over time.
