Sounds like you might have a problem with the starter.

Ditto Bronc76's response. If you have an Autozone "Duralast" on it you need to go back to them and INSIST they give a full and immediate refund on BOTH the starter and the core charge.

Since they take your original starter as core credit they should let you keep their POS as a core for elsewhere. Then take that new found wealth and head to NAPA and buy a "new" starter.

I'll bet your problem will be solved. I had Duralast(s) on my '78 and after three strikes they were OUT! I don't know how they substantiate "rebuilt" from "Purdied up" but the latter don't cut it.

Never had another issue with the Napa starter installed. I guess Autozones' "rebuiders" use crappy windings in the stator/ bendix assembly that's probably made in China by some ten year old TRIAD gang member

! Either that or they use lead for drive motor bushings. **** they might as well - they use it in all their toys! It seems that heat makes them try to jump ground in places they shouldn't!

Cool beans my blood brother! I've done give 2 of them hard headed boys a ride in my Ford this season, so far!

I used the ol' Featherweight 70 30-06 this year and gave the Remington 7mag some killin' time off . Didn't see anything close 'nuff to my 70pound Bear to send an Easton FMJ through, so I had to fall back on the point and click trick!! Hope your Hoss stays up under ya! So... did they give your starter money,core money AND/OR their POS starter to ya for takin' somewhere else? That would be the decent thing to do. Either way I'm glad you're back in the saddle!
