What does a starter that's turned to 'mush'look like? I've seen ring gear teeth chewed 1/4 through from a rotten wire harness intermittently engaging the starter motor when the engine was running and the ring rear and starter still worked ok once the harness problem was fixed. Wonder if your motor's electric connections are corrosion free and tight. The motor runs hot if they aren't. Is there any chance road salt is getting into the starter or wire connections? Is the drip pan in place? Have 300k on 84 with original starter. Took cap off front bearing (2 phillips screws) and packed it with grease years ago and it just keeps going. Yours should to. Good luck!
