Yesterday, my truck began cranking slow - still fast enough to start
the engine but noticeably slower than normal. This developed all of
a sudden, one start fine, next one was slow. I checked all the cables,
slight corrosion at the terminals, cleaned them and same thing.
Checked battery voltage, both 12.4 disconnected. Figured it had to be
the starter, spent 250.00 on a brand new one, no change.:mad2:
I have a lifetime warranty on the new one, so I guess it's gonna remain in
the truck. (Gonna have a good used starter for sale soon) :smile5:
Now what? Get the batteries load tested individually? I guess even though
voltage is good, one of them could have a problem with amps under a load.
Although I did hook up jumper cables with no obvious change.
Other thing I can think of is change all the battery cables, they are old,
but this was just all of a sudden, not gradual.
Any ideas?
