    Squeaky filter box?

    Yeah sounds like mine. I think it's all installed correctly, but if I push on it, it makes the same squeak. Not sure what other contact points there are.

    Squeaky filter box?

    I have a squeak when I roll over terrain. I'm pretty certain it's the filter box hitting against the wheel well. Not sure if it's not on correctly? Anyone have this issue before?

    Load on starter when warm

    Battery was tested after the truck had warmed up. I drove around a bit, got everything ready to test, shut it off, hooked up my radio shack multimeter, and that was the reading I got. The battery is about a month old. I took it to autozone to test a couple of days ago. It tested fine, as did...

    Load on starter when warm

    Ok, so initial start after the truck was warm. Battery measured 12.5v before starting. When started with fuel relay pulled, immediately went to 10.3v and then settled at 10.9v as the starter continued to turn. After that, when starter off, battery measured right at 12v. For each of 3 starts...

    Load on starter when warm

    It seems like a wire that is stretching when warm. What is between the ignition and the battery? On the positive side, the cable that goes from battery to starter is new. The battery is new (and has been tested today as good). The starter is new (and has been tested today as good). Then a...

    Load on starter when warm

    I checked positive VM cable on negative battery post and negative VM cable on starter housing and then also negative VM cable on engine block where the black cable from battery connects. All readings within 0.1-0.2 when I hit the starter. But again, after the first turn, everything seems/sounds...

    Load on starter when warm

    Thanks, I'll check out the video. I did clean and dielectric grease most everything and inspected the ground. It appeared fine, so I did not replace, but maybe I'll just replace, but I did not clean where the ground attaches to the block because I could not get the inner bolt off...but that may...

    Load on starter when warm

    This is sort of a repost because I haven't solved the issue, but maybe new info. Having an issue where when I start my '97 K1500 truck after the engine warms, the first turn of the starter sounds hard and slow like it's not gonna turn over. It does turn after the first one and starts. Then if I...

    Voltage drop diagnosis

    Thank you again for the replies. Schurkey, the voltage reading was a mistake. I was clipped to the purple wire instead of the starter case, so was measuring the voltage of the completed circuit during start @ 10v. I do not think there is any voltage drop in the cables. See my last post right...

    Voltage drop diagnosis

    Thanks a lot for the replies. So I went and warmed up the truck and got it to where it would expose the issue. I disconnected the fuel relay to diagnose. Hooked up the voltage meter, etc. When I had my wife hit the starter, the first "chug" sounded awful like it always does. After this...

    Voltage drop diagnosis

    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...
