RE: [ihc] Intermittent Starter

When you get a starter, go the the local International truck dealer and get
a Delco rebuild.  ***MUCH*** better starter than the cheaper rebuild I've
had.  Current draw is low like a new starter, bearings don't get hot, sounds
like a new starter, not like it's going to blow up.  Only cost $69 a few
years ago.  There is definitely something different about how Delco rebuilds
a starter.  They don't have a lifetime warrantee but I don't want that, I
want a starter I don't have to remove every year.

So.after getting truck good and warm, shut down, come back after 5 to 10
minutes, the dreaded click. Click. Click.  Once after letting it sit for
about 20 minutes it turned over.  The other time I couldnt wait, but it
started up maybe two or three hours later.

Seems like the starter (duh), but no clue on how to make it respond.  I
tried banging on it (read that somewhere),  tried putting truck in gear and
rocking it back and forth (no luck).   Any tricks to get it to go?  Should I
just replace it?  Whats happening?
