Intermittent no crank issue

I'm pretty sure I had posted a pic of the graph there as well but I'm not looking any farther.

Iirc it was 512A.

Yes, that was 'Max' draw.

The standard starter I purchased today has a similar peak amperage figure.

Well, yeah!

It's doing the same job, isn't it?

Watts are work.

VxA=Watts

Or more commonly, W/V=A

Well, yeah!

It's doing the same job, isn't it?

Well, sort of. The starters have the same function, of course, but if the PMGR starter is really spinning the engine faster and harder it's going to have to pull more amps at some point.

But at least it's not through the fender mounted relay.

Maybe Matthew can do a PMGR upgrade at the GTG and you can document it for the site?

Negative!

As much as I'd love to make a contribution to the site like that, I won't be making mechanical changes to the truck in the middle of a 2500 mile trip. I'm heading down to Texas after Oklahoma, and they have more banjos than Arkansas...

David/1986F150Six has had similar responses to some significant changes that have been proposed. And I can fully understand.

"If it doesn't smoke, don't fool with it!"

Sounds like a regular month around town for me. *shrug

Doesn't keep me from going to work (or futzing around with my truck)
