shawn!


this subject has been talked about several times...i had a brand new starter
and battery  on mine and it did the same thing and on trips only...the best
way to solve is to have a relay between switch and starter that will give
the extra kick when the starter  is really hot. the rock or hammer is a
simple solution. since mine was also an automatic, i used to go underneath
and made contact with a srewdriver on the + bolt and the starter itself and
we were off. but a lot of people do not like to do this,  with a manual
trans...but when you are out of nowhere, well...


hope this solves your problem
