starting problem

[99OldsB]

I have been having issues starting my 99 Bravada. When it started I just had to turn the key a couple times and it would turn over, then it got worse, draining my battery before I could get it started and having to get a jump or throw it on the battery charger just to get it to turn over. Today I replaced the started and it still wont start. The starter is getting power, shim is replaced, I even charged the battery and still nothing. Turn the key and it just runs the starter, the teeth on the old starter and the teeth on the fly wheel looked fine. The engine just wont turn over, any ideas, HELP PLEASE!!!

is the starter motor actualy turning over the motor (an rrrrrr noise) and it's not starting? if an engine cranks but doesn't start you're looking at the problem wrong.
