yeah it had 13 volts when i checked it out today then after a few cranks it only had 12.7 but i have it in the back seat of my car and i am load testing it tomorrow. i cranked it up today and it sounded damn good. got a nice lil chop to it. if it isnt the battery then how old is the starter? ima have to check that next. you dont reckon the motor could be too tight do ya?

most the time 12.7 will be good. its when you get closer to 11 then you got a problem. I would check and make sure you got good grounds and then see what she doo. If that dont help just put a manual trans in it and just push start it!!!!!!

Everything checked out good with the motor. It has less than 2500 miles on it.

Starter's age is undetermined at this time.

Check the ground for the battery and lmk.
