so... I am guessing we should guard the battery cable with some extra protection around the starter....
pics of the cable at the starter anyone? |

Where is Starter Located?
I realize from pictures posted here that the battery is located in the trunk. So where is the starter and the "battery cable" so that we can all check on ours when delivered? I want to assume in the engine compartment but am not certain. Thanks!

I had a similar problem with my 2003 S-10 and the trans fluid line. I was half way through a road trip in BFE when I realized I was running through gas faster than normal. Then the engine started going erratic on the RPMs. Long story short I pulled over, walked to the back of my truck (which was smoking a little) and the entire rear bumper and tailgate were dripping with trans fluid. Got it towed and they found one of the line retainers had come lose and the hose came in contact with something which rubbed a hole in it. Only had like 22,000 miles on it. No damage to the trans and I never had another issue with it. Was not fun though.

Glad they found your problem and it is not super serious.
That would be upsetting. Happy driving from now on. Could this be the starter Photo. |

To the ones saying that Optima batteries are the way to go, I disagree. Ive went through 2 new red tops and a new yellow top in the past 4 months. I now use Kenetik Batteries. Check them out. Optimas are good but if your going to spend the money, I PROMISE these are way better. I have two on my dually and my little girl watches movies in it all the time at car shows with the stereo up with 3 12"s, 2 amps, mids and highs, and at the end of the day I can get in and start it right up no problem.

Im glad your car is fixed. I have a question. Why did your dealership put miles on your car?
