Starter Issue?
I just found this: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/09...20the%20engine.
Has anyone on the forum here had a starter issue with their 6th Gen ZL1? Is this something else to worry about? I cannot honestly say that I have seen anyone here post about this issue... Just wondering...

It's a LT1 thing. I think the LT4's have avoided this flaw.

Many have this problem. Leads to parasitic drain. On my second battery with 1300 miles. ZL1 1LE

I have been plagued on and off with this issue and my battery will pass a battery test. When my engine is cold or has cooled down after being fully warmed up - it starts just fine. That is not to say that there can not be other types of battery issues such as a parasitic drain causing a no start on a cold engine.

So far good to go with my ZL1 but my 2016 SS had that problem in the 3 years I owned it. Whoever bought it after I traded it in had to deal with it!

My 2017 ZL1 had a failed starter, it's not just the LT1.

no problems ever, and it gets hot where I live (95-115f daily in the summer).

Is this why I see the Battery Protection option touted?
Mine came with the charger & I asked why is that even a thing. Salesman said, being a GM dealer rep., perhaps because these cars sit for long periods & winters. I never had an issue with my SS sitting for several months, I was somewhat malaise on the option. Quote:
I know I did on the A8 TC shudder issue as it was quite a major deciding factor to go to the A10. F all that nonsense. |

I've done two turn and burns down to Pompano Beach the last four days, 350 mile round trip, and my starter was acting up big time when I was gassing up at the service plazas both days. High 90s with high humidity each time, and I guess it wasn't helping that I was running in a 100+ mph pack of criminals both days. Can't wait to see when my starter screws me over...

I had it on my 16 SS and dealer couldn’t figure it out for 2 weeks. Pain in the ass! But damn I miss the car, thinking of getting another one but the reliability wasn’t good for me.
