Best starter heat shield

[raggedjim]

I had hot start issues on my old blazer to the point I hated to drive it anywhere. I had replaced all the cables with larger cables, put a ford solenoid on the fender, replaced starter, checked timing, and tried a heat shield. Still slow starting when hot.

Finally I put one of the tahoe starters on this spring and it cranks like crazy. Drove it more this summer than I had in the last 10 years, and it always started fast. I should have done this years ago.

The small starters have permanent magnets instead of wound coils on the outside (stator) and a planetary gear reduction, (some places call them pmgr starters) so they generate more torque while pulling less amperage.

Goog luck, Rg
