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 shut off right away and try again, starter turns fine. It's just that first one. I've replaced the starter and same thing.
I've noticed that the voltage on the battery when I start cold reads (on the gauge) about 16v, but once warm, it settles a tad lower than 14v with nothing but radio pulling power.
I have replaced the positive cable from batt to starter and alternator, I have also replaced the alternator. The battery is new and it happened with the "old" battery too. It seems like a culprit, but I doubt it since it's new and the other one did the same thing. Any ideas I could check?
It's been hard to try and diagnose with voltmeter as it only happens on that first crank.
Thanks in advance!
