    '94 350: good cold starts, struggles to crank when restarting or still warm

    Sorry for such a delay on this. Been a busy winter. So I have yet to swing thru autozone for a load test. And I have not done the voltage drop test from battery to starter. But readings at the battery terminals Truck off: 12.53V Running: 14.14V Cranking lowest read drop: 8.38V Sent from my...

    I need to get an assistant to check voltage drop at crank. I grab the voltage while off. And the battery was load tested at AutoZone back in June, listed fine. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    Welp....both cold and hot starts sounded strained this morning. But it is 24° outside. Time to get the battery checked again. Safe to assume that months of heat soak starts can damage my battery's performance? Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    Just waiting on parts to come into. Between that and deer season I'll find time to get the truck on the lift. I plan to: -remove starter and clean mounting surface to engine block -remove all grounds and positive cables -clean all grounding spots -install starter heat shield -new knock sensor...

    Agreed. I think I'll install a factory set of cables. Then add some additional grounding cables.

    Or what do most do? Stack lugs on a bolt? Custom cables? Or factory cables and just add the big 3 on top of that?

    Schurky, when I get an assistant I will do this! But for now I have planned a heat shield, replace battery cables, and clean up those connection points Are all these heat shields pretty much the same thing? Also, thoughts on these battery terminals for GM side posts? The theory seems nice...

    '94 350: good cold starts, struggles to crank when restarting or still warm

    So I'm going to pull all the battery cable and rewire the truck. I never did that properly. Also I'll clean up connections. I'll have to look for a heat shield And what is everyone's thoughts on the Sender wire. I don't get how that needs to provide anything but a trigger signal for the...

    '94 350: good cold starts, struggles to crank when restarting or still warm

    Or maybe high resistance in a wire to the starter? Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    Any way to truly test if it is heat soak? Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk
