Re: Starter drawing about 465 amps, does that sound right?

It's on the truck? Anything that can make the motor harder to turn over can cause high amperage and slow cranking. I've seen engines removed because of an internal alternator fan blowing up.

But the starter itself is the most likely cause of high amperage starter test.
