Odd symptoms:
Cranks super slow and basically seizes up. Stop, retry and it will crank over one or two times before it seizes up and the starter clicks. After many attempts holding the key to crank it will eventually start cranking fast enough to fire. Once the truck is warm it cranks and fires perfectly! Over and over again.
brand new battery, good terminals, connections and grounds. Tried replacing the starter with a new gear reduction unit. Did the exact-same thing.. so I put my direct drive unit back in concluding that the starter was good.
I only drive this truck a few times a month. It had kinda displayed these symptoms before but it wasn’t bad enough that it wouldn’t start.
Im confused at what is happening?
Out of time? Voltage drop?
anyone ever dealt with this?
