Hot Starter Problems?
This really urks me. mainly because shes an automatic and not push startable and i can get stranded. when the truck is cold or warm the starter cranks great. but when i go to the store and its hot its hard to start. sometimes i have to wait 10 minutes to cool down, other times it happens to spin barely fast enough and she fires up. do i need to start thinking about a new starter? or maybe just wrap my headers?

The "racing blanket" I ordered just wrapped and velcroed...but you should replace the starter and start with a new wrapped one...
It's a known fact that headers cook the starters....
