When I start my truck, it spins over fast at first then slows down. It got so bad last week it would hardly roll over. My batteries are missmatched and old, so I replaced both of them with 850 CCA. I thought I had it fixed, but I noticed it again this morning. The truck has 165000 miles on it and runs very well. I'm not sure what to check next. Any ideas?

Yes, starter. Weak batteries and/or lots of cranking will wear it out. I was going through one a year when it got cold. Now with the GP's disconnected, and a shot of ether, I'm off, and the starter made it through the winter [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].

I know NAPA couldn't get me any parts, didn't check w/ our local rebuild shop, but they could probably do it. You can replace it with a SD gear reduction starter or just another one like you have. I put a reman from NAPA on mine. Cranks faster than it ever has. I would check its current draw or have it tested first though. My reman was 230 thats too much to just replace.

I pulled mine and took it to AutoZone. They put it on their tester and tested it for free. Most auto parts stores have the capability of testing your starter. At least you would know if it is good or bad. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
