[Oletrucks] Sluggish starting

[MIQ MILLMAN]

Heat increases resistance in electrical connections.  Check the wires
grounding the starter motor and the positive lead for corrosion or loose
bolts.

Also check the terminals on the battery, especially if you have a quick
disconnect or battery tender inline with the wiring.

Good luck.  Intermittent issues are the worst to troubleshoot.
