Cruiser71 the 40* temp was a joke. I see every one else seems to have taken it as intended. If the heat shield fixes your problem then go for it, I was just saying to check everything else first. Electrical gremlins are no fun, and are seldom what they seem to be at first, just look at the myriad answers you got to your post.
Good Luck, Andy.

This same post comes along from time to time(starters & heat). Here in mid Illinois, we see temps in the 95-100 degree range in the summer. i havent seen the need for a heat sheild on my starters, & havent had any troubles. All it takes is a good battery, good set of cables(mine run from behind the cab to the front), & a good starter. I run headers, & have on d@mn near every toy I have had.....some of the guys in the desert heat might see the need for heat sheilds, or remote solenoids.....but i honestly havent had to use them in my corner of the world. crazyL
