Re: starter problems
What's the voltage while it's cranking? It could be a tired battery, tired starter, or a bad connection.

Re: starter problems
Or, too small of a wire going to the solenoid. Inadequate voltage to energize the solenoid will give you the same behavior. If voltage is good, probably a failing starter.
Re: starter problems
it cant be the battery cause i pullded it out of car and started my truck right up with no hessitation i think it the starter cause it cranks real slow just like the batt is dead and im gettin the full 12v to start when i push the start button and after it cranks real slow it will just stop and wont click or even try to turn it over

Re: starter problems
It's either the battery, alternator, starter or the wiring between the two. You can take it by one of the parts chains, AZ, etc. and they will test the starter and alternator for free. A reman starter with a warranty runs around $50 or so.
