Need Help With Starter Problem
My starter is not disengaging as it should. It seems to be more prevelant when the engine is warm. Does anyone have any ideas before I start throwing parts at it? Thanks for any advice in advance.

My older 4.0L Ranger had the same symptoms and I traced the problem to a bad battery cable where the B+ attaches to the starter. The cable was secured to the frame, looped over to the starter and repeated engine rolls had weakened the battery cable terminal to
a point that it was ready to separate causing an poor connection.
