Having an issue where when I start my '97 K1500 truck cold, it is great. After the engine warms, and in southern heat, when I make a quick stop at the store and come back out to start, the starter is sluggish and sounds like its barely pulling power.
I ran a voltage meter from battery negative to starter negative, and did a starter test, and it's dropping around 10v. I then ran from battery negative to engine ground, and it was more like 0.2v or so. I am assuming that this means the battery negative cable, and its connection to the chassis, are both fine. So clearly something between the engine block ground and the starter is going bad/melty on the ground side. What can I check in between to track down the issue? And did I miss anything by not checking the positive side?
Thanks in advance!
