If there was smoke coming from the battery post or cable you have a high resistance connection (corroded). Like Rick from Chevy Duty said make sure everyting is clean and you are getting a good gnd to the engine block. To eliminate the + cable take one lead of your jumper cables and go from the big wire on your starter to the + side of the battery. You can do the same thing for the gnd cable. Could be your battery is just weak or your starter is dragging. Haven't had good luck with rebuilt starters lately. The last one I bought, they checked three before I left the store!
