Quite a lot of information in that post. Very sorry to hear about your and your wife's medical issues, hope all goes as well as it can on that front.
Glad to see another GM diesel on here, hope you have better luck with it going forward. Do you know what gears it has? My dad had a 84 k10 with a lift gate, it was his work truck but had a gasser. Took it over 500k miles, just rebuilt or replaced engines and transmissions to get it there.
Sometimes I wonder about whether or not starters should be fused, at least stuck on isn't as bad as completely shorted to ground. Hopefully the replacement solenoid won't repeat the same issues.
Definitely need to look for a correct lug patterned spare if you haven't already. What tires did you end up with?
