Would anyone know what would cause a 95' Dodge to start cranking real slow??? I know it's not the batteries cause' I just recently replaced them and I also checked them for voltage. Could I have a corroded battery line somewhere, or is the starter just getting weak???:confused: :confused: :confused:

I guess it could be. I noticed mine cranking quite a bit slower than normal in the cold weather.

I noticed mine to start after a few extra cranks if I don't plug it in or leave it out of the garage overnight, but I don't notice it to crank slower. A buddy of mine from work couldn't get his to start (Powerstroke). It was barely cranking. His wouldn't even begin to light up with starting fluid!! I took a look at his starter (after a few attempts at starting the truck, and sure enough it was smokin'. To me sounds like the same deal...the starter. Might want to get it checked out. It really sucks trying to change one out when the truck is at work and it's 20 degrees out!!
