Idk if the battery is going bad or another issue. I might try to warranty the battery, idk.

Sorry to hear that. If both you guys have a lot of hot start slow cranks on the current starter & starter solenoid then that could be the problem. Those slow cranks on a hot starter will over time damage the starter windings and adding a good ground can’t overcome that.

I’m convinced this is a combo problem of a starter that gets heat soaked because of insufficient heat shielding or poor starter design and it’s compounded by poor factory grounding. A healthy battery can’t overcome all that. The extra ground cable eliminates one problem and a healthy battery can then sufficiently crank a heat soaked but undamaged starter.

Yeah, but while owners get $200 each, some lawyer gets $2,000,000.

Yes, keeps companies honest but really? Like this?
