No, I have not even looked for any. As usual, when I am able to find the problem and fix it, I tend to not even think about it again until the next time it acts up! It starts great now and has not cranked slow ever since I fixed the clamp.

 

Well... I'll try getting new cables and cleaning up the connections and see how my truck does. The new terminals and cleaning those didn't solve it for me.

Thanks!

 

I have replaced everything that was brought up on this post except the cable ends but, they are tight and I have cleaned them. The only thing that I don't understand is that when the starter drags the positive battery cable is hot to the touch is that a problem?

 

Perform a voltage drop test on the battery cables and especially the ground cables from the battery to the engine.

 

Having similer problems with my 1987 460. New battery, relay and on my second starter! I'm thinking a ground problem, negative cable gets hut. A battery negative
to engine and body resistance or voltage drop spec would be helpful?
Thanks, Tim
