Truck 2009 2.3 auto 67k miles. Battery is 2 years old 590cca and voltage tests at 12.5 engine off, alternator running at startup voltage is 14.4, current draw with engine off is 80ma with sjb still on 25ma after an hour, ohm test ground to block is zero, positive to starter is zero.
Issue started during the insane cold so I just chalked it up to battery being cold (had to jump it each morning below 5 degrees but it started fine with a jump). It was 50 today and the truck still cranked slow this morning... so now im certain something is actually failing and not just a cold related issue.
Thoughts? Im thinking starter but in my years starters just flat out fail... never had one go out slow?
