Starter dragging "BAD" ???
Fellow PowerStrokers, Yesterday morning my starter started dragging bad and it's taking about twice as many revo's to fire up the 7.3 ?? Checked the batteries and alt- charging is good- has anyone seen this before. Is is likely the starter is just close to being done ?? Some person @ O'Reilly has a 7.3 said sum'n about the solenoid on the starter - anyone know about this ?? thx

hey fellas - thanks for the guidance. I found the problem. I had a broken starter housing bolt. (The long bolts that actually hold the starter assembly together). One was broke- causing the rotating unit to ****- thus - not gettng the proper gear mesh or torque load. Anyways- had a padnuh w/ an old starter- scavanged it- now we all good- thx again
