hard start / no start when hot issue is now going to court against chevy
saw a vid on youtube saying this is being brought to court, as it should be. this should be a recall. hopefully itll be solved.

I was getting pissed at the slow starting on mine when it was hot....
It's the ground in the trunk. They painted the trunk where the battery grounds to the body. Rather than using the 3/4" circle on the ground lug, it just uses the bolt threads to do the grounding. Took a wire wheel to the area, gooped full of dielectric grease, and my car starts better than it ever has.

I added power master high torque starter, and then added more air in the start up table. Powers up fine now, but still does need a few more tweaks

I have a feeling this will go no where or I could see them offering a thicker heat shield for the starter.
I think the key is to add an extra ground strap or two and then keep the other connections very very clean. Most of my connections get filthy and I’ll clean them up once or twice a year depending on how nasty they look. I’m still on a stock starter that’s 6 years old as well and it works great. Add some heat protection around the starter and either wrap or coat your headers. That’ll help along with the extra grounds and clean connections.
