99-06 Silverado, Sierra Starters

[53boy]

So ...I found something out about chevys the other day. My current truck needed a starter, replaced it “fought me every bit of the way” , starts within a second now. I’ve had 4 different Silverado , sierras . And none of them started like this . Realized when I heard a couple other chevys start it seems they all have some what of a small delay or hesitation, they will still start. But since my truck Has a brand new starter . It’s night and day hearing mine, compared to another Chevy, factory starters are known to show signs like this before going. Just wondering if anyone else is aware of this. My other 4 trucks all had that slight delay , hesitation but always started! Never on a dime like this new starter in my truck

What other Chevys are you comparing them to? There may be a slight difference perceived between yours (03?) and older ones, as in 2003 the trucks electrical architecture changed in that the starting system is computer controlled, vs the older trucks being a direct electrical/ mechanical input. Simply put, in the older trucks you directly trigger the starter relay and starter via the ignition switch. In the newer trucks, you are merely sending a request to the PCM to engage the starter. This may explain the very small delay you are noticing perhaps?

Replaced the starter in my 03 , no delay . Starts immediately. Before there was a delay. But also I’ve realized this same issue with these past Chevy , gmc trucks I’ve owned within the last couple years . Heard a silverado 03-06 at gas station start and had that same hesitation I noticed
