Re: [ihc] Starter update

[Steven Stegmann <steve.stegmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,
 
I got one from el-cheapo rebuilders and put 12 volts to it while it was just laying on the garage floor.  Maybe 1 or 2 seconds.  Bearings were already hot.  Took it back and then got one from Navistar.  The one rebuilt by AC Delco didn't do that.  Been in there for years now.

Allan,

I can't picture how bearings would cause the starter to stick when 
Michael is running the starter outside the vehicle.
