I think I might need another starter...

I have noticed the last few times I've started the van that it sounds a bit more "harsh" that first instant the starter is cranked over. Then this evening leaving work, I went to crank it over and it just died. It actually sounded like it was free spinning before it abruptly stopped. I cranked it over again and it started no problem (though it still sound harsh)
This is a fairly new starter, I just replaced it about 1 1/2 years ago. A brand new one too, not a rebuild. But unfortunately, I had to drive through some pretty deep water recently thanks to a tropical storm and I'm starting to think it's got a little corrosion in it now.
Another thought I'm having is maybe I just need to upgrade my grounds. It dims the lights when I crank the starter over. Couldn't hurt to upgrade them anyways I guess...
So what do you think?
