What’s the temp on a Silverado Sierra GMC?
Tranny temp was fine as I have a really good aftermarket trans cooler installed. It was hot out as well, roughly 32 deg c (93 deg f). Just wondering how hot is too hot? I was at the top of the hill by the time it reached that temp and it came down quickly once I started heading downhill.
Why does my car starter not crank when it’s Hot?
If your starter easily cranks a cold engine, but “drags” or cranks very slowly when hot, there may be a “heat soak” problem. Before you condemn the starter as bad, you should perform a system diagnosis of the battery, cables and starter.

The radiator and cooling system can maintain this temperature range with a liquid mixture of 50 percent antifreeze and 50 percent water. When the temperature of the engine goes above 200 degrees, boiling of the coolant solution can cause overheating.
What kind of starter doesn’t work in cold weather?
A good starter doesn’t care if the weather is cold, a marginal one does. In January my starter was occasionally doing nothing, took a few twists of the key to get a response. I pulled the starter and had it rebuilt for $67. It’s been perfect ever since.

How can I start my car in cold weather?
This makes the engine MUCH easier to start in cold weather. The water separator should be checked and drained periodically to make sure that water won’t make it into the fuel injectors. This is also a good check of your fuel supplier (gas/diesel station).
