Slow crank when cold
I have been trying to sort out this problem for a while, and im thinking the problem may be the starter.
Today it was -10 degress celcius, and the truck cranked over really slow. When i got home i tried unhooking each battery to see if one was stronger than the other, but they both seem to perform about the same (and the one is brand new)
With only one battery hooked up, the truck has trouble cranking over, even when its at operating temperature. Charging voltage is 14-15 based on the gauge in the truck. All cables are new and connections are good. Starter has Larry b contacts and plunger installed this past summer, brushes looked good also.
Should the truck crank over smoothly with one good battery? If it does need a starter, where is the best place to get one ?
( i found this on ebay)
eBay Motors: 94-2000 DODGE 5.9 L CUMMINS DIESEL STARTER 100% NEW HD (item 320201247445 end time Jan-04-08 13:59:51 PST)
Thanks for any advice.
