Tech Notes:
Depending on the conditions, a starter can pull up to 500 amps. These levels of amperage stress ALL components in the circuit including cables, terminals, batteries, and more. Problems with these components can be difficult to diagnose as they appear fine at rest and under a light load, but generate high resistance under heavy amperage draws. This results in low voltage to the starter while cranking, causing heavier amperage draw, and increased heat leading to starter failure. Batteries, cables and additional components should be checked and serviced regularly. Voltage measured at the starter during cranking should always be above 11V DC. Starter heat shields are not required, but are an excellent idea for heat protection.

Works, but doesn't retract fast enough
Zach (Michigan) | May 15th, 2022
It works . but I noticed the starter doesn't retract fast enough. When starting, you can sometimes hear the gear grind hard when the engine starts. It doesn't seem to be any faster/aggressive than the OEM starter. My truck doesn't spin over any faster, but the OEM never had a problem spinning it over - when it decided to spin. I haven't weighed that starter, but the claims of it being lighter than the OEM doesn't seem true. When you hold up the two, the OEM is noticeably lighter. Considering it was half the price of a factory Denso, I would say its still worth the money. I just hope the gear lasts the life of the starter or it will soon fix itself. I'm sure the grinding isn't good for my flywheel or the starter.
