bad starter motor?
I went to start my jeep today and it doesn't want to turn over. The voltage is fine, so I know its not the battery, and it sounds like it wants to turn but it doesn't have the strength. I'm assuming its the starter motor, but I wanted to check in here to see what you guys say.

If voltage ISN'T dropping, It's NOT the starter motor.
