I still cannot stop thinking about why the starter failed?
Maybe the Lighten Crank Pulley caused stress on the Starter engaging without as mush resistance and was initially making contact and spinning to fast at the engagement start of the Crank/Flywheel? IDK?
I don't know how similar the starters are, but when looking for a picture of the starter, I did see one LS post on here about sporadic starter issues that ended up being an issue with the connector itself. They replaced the starter (before pinpointing the connector issue) and the issue came back later as the connector worked it's way off again.
Either way, good to hear the problem seems solved now.
Ordered and received the LS500 start button in the mail today. Hopefully I'll get to switch it out and not put it up on the shelve with all the other upgrade parts I have I need to install that I have not yet. I'm going to wait 1 more week of driving to be more confident that the GS starts all the time and that it was a new starter that was the failure. To date still Zero start to fails after the new starter has been installed and driven every day.

"...a new starter that was the failure" I'm confused - wasn't the failed starter you just had replaced the original starter that was installed at the factory? The failed starter wasn't new, was it?

I didn't realize you had replaced your OE starter, and that is the one that recently failed and needed to be replaced. So, if I understand correctly, this new starter you now have is actually the 3rd starter your car has had. Wow!
There was only ONE new starter put in. Just one. It was a new starter that was needed to repair the no start problem. That was the failure, the original factory starter. The Original starter. There is No 3rd starter put in. I never said there was.

"and that it was a new starter that was the failure"
The above message is what caused the confusion in trying to make sense of it all.. The devil is always in the details, which seemed to be somewhat lacking, or at least unclear...
