Retested the small starter wire. was 11.9V at crank position, battery at 12.0V. Going to trickle charge the battery. The battery is only a week old and I am surprised it has a low voltage. I connected it last week to start the truck, no crank (only the click) so I left it disconnected for a week.
I also verified that I could spin the motor with a socket.
When the heavy gauge starter or ground wires corrode, is that typically at the ends?
I was considering putting a permanent cable wire from my alternator mount bolt to battery ground. Would it make sense to also install a relatively heavy gauge wire to the starter from the battery positive? Looks like the factory wire is about 8mm, maybe a 1/0 guage wire.
