Brad, the 00 cables and new switch and that heavy battery (Ifffff allllllll connections and grounds are clean n tight) should eliminate all but the starter as the problem. (I agree with try grounding right at the starter)
My standard thoughts are if when trying to start the voltage dont drop much (lights dont dim down hardly) the problem is either a bad switch or a bad connection (assuming battery and all else is okay)
HOWEVER if the lights dim way down and the voltage drops drastically, that tells me the cables n connections and switch are alllllll good, so the high current draw must be from a faulty starter. Such as a partly shorted armature or the armature is dragging or a brush is somehow shorted
If the battery voltage drops drastically that means theres good enough connections and good enough switching allowing such a high current draw which must be casued by the starter or another short somewhere
NOTE I may have misunderstood your post?? If youre getting a voltage drop of 2 volts ACROSS THE SWITCH that means the switch is bad. The voltages I mentioned above are battery voltages. For the battery to drop 2 volts there has to be a good current draw which means the switch and cables n conenctions must all be okay, buttttttttt if the switch drops 2 volts ACROSS IT the switch n NOT the starter is at fault
