sounds like starter dragging when warm

Well if you got a starter problem the first step is to test the starter.

Let us know what they find.

i changed a starter 3 times when it was below 0 out side. yes i had got a bad one right from the parts store. thay even tested the one that left me sitting in the woods 10 miles from town and said it was good. thay did not have a way of doing a load test. i got lucky and could push start the truck. it was a manual trany. it was not a good day under a truck on frozen ground swaping starters, untill dark.

yes getting a bad starter is high. extream temps will show any flaw.
