jdunkz is an unknown quantity at this point
1. Check battery voltage, using a digital multimeter/ voltmeter
2. Check ALL connections going from battery to starter. Even if you think they are tight clean and tighten them. I've seen battery acid build up stop a car from starting.

Ah I see, Well the problem with this is that IF I disconnect the battery cables from the battery every time I keep my car over night or stop for long periods of time then reconnect them the next morning it works perfectly, but IF I keep the battery cables on overnight something drains my battery and I don't have enough volts to even start my car
If this is the case you have a short somewhere in your car causing it to drain battery power constantly. Charge your battery fully and check what it's reading is in car after having lights turned on for 30 secs or so. Leave the car overnight and check the voltage in the morning if it drained a considerable amount you have excessive parasitic drain. It had nothing to do with your starter, leave it alone and look elsewhere.
