Starter drain the battery dead???

Have you swapped the starter. Sorry if you already said. Im having trouble reading the thread on my phone.
Yes, I put in a new mini-starter (bought one for a Dakota). That was also about 1.5 - 2 years ago. I cannot remember if the battery drained before or after the swap. I think we owned the van about 3 years or a little more now and I know it used to not drain the battery dead.
