i changed the starter and put on a new, rebuilt, one and it does the same thing.
i ordered some exhaust header wrap for the headers and exhaust pipe. they pretty much wrap around the starter very close ,closer than they did on the 360. i was also thinking of wraping it around the starter itself.
what do you use to keep that stuff attached to the pipe? do you need metal ties or will the plastic zip ties work. i am guessing that the plastic ones would melt.
how many volts should the mini starter be getting to work right? its a stock replacement for a 95 dakota,i got from napa. looks like the mini starter i got a while back for my dart.
