My 97 K1500 will not start at all if the outside temp is near or below 32F.
Initially it seems my starter is weak, as the voltage meter is low when I turn the ignition switch. I hear the fuel pump engage, lights & radio work just fine... but when the key turns, nothing happens.
Once the temps rise outdoors, it seems to crank without issue.
I did add some antifreeze as it was low, but I don't think that was the issue. The alternator (reman) & battery are fairly new (under 1 year on the truck)
So I'm thinking to replace the starter, should I go with a direct drive starter or the gear reduction starter?
