I appreciate the input, although I’m familiar with that sort of issue and the remedies, hammer included. I’ve driven KWs with this issue ongoing over hundreds of thousands of miles in each truck. Never have I found it to relate to a starter, or more specifically a starter solenoid. E.g. the W9 I drive now, it’s at 434k, ~350k of which I’ve done and it’s had that issue since I got in it. Same deal with the W9 I was driving before I switched from 3 to 4 axles, and so on and so forth.
Years ago when I was green and first encountered this, I asked people who had been around the block about it and they said it’s just a KW thing. I’ve brought it up to other people over the years and gotten the same answer, although some people assume it’s the ignition switch, but they’ve never bothered to try fixing it.
