That was part of my problem- the new starter was warranteed but still had the problem same as the removed starter. The voltage at the starter is 12 Plus volts and when we crank- or try to crank the starter it drops to 11 Plus volts. All grounds are in perfect shape. This particular starter doesn't have a nose cone. I even tried a new Key Switch to see if that was causing my problem but was still doing the same thing. All new parts are from SMH and have not had any issues like this one before.
