Slowwww starter crank
For about a week or so now, the truck has been really slow to crank over.
I have to give the truck throttle to get it to start because it cranks SOO slow.
I have 211k.
Batteries & alternator are good.
Should I just replace the starter?
Thanks in advance

Starter. You will fry it for good if you keep cranking it as it is now, if its not already totally toast.
BTW, mine did this same thing, then one day a long way from home it just quit altogether. Its already warned you, so change it asap.

If the windings are not damaged from low voltage.

Garrett, I rebuilt my starter with the oversized contacts and new plunger from Fosters and it took longer to get the starter out, then it was to rebuild it. cost like 25 clams.....
