Just installed 4th starter in 6 weeks. It seems that the starter will not fully engage the starter ring gear consistently. There is alot of free spinning and grinding on the starter ring gear. The last starter lasted about 4 weeks, then it began to act up in the mornings (about mid 40's) I would try 4 or 5 times then starter will engage and motor will start.
I have read where corroded cables will not allow the full amount of amps to the starter and fry the starter.? I have checked all exposed areas of the cables and have not found anything.
My question is what kind of numbers should expect to see at the positive stud on the starter (1500 amps= 2 750 amp batts)? Or am I going in the wrong direction here?
Edit: 4th starter in and every other attempt at starting and it is still grinding on starter ring.
