I've recently had trouble re-starting my diesel after its been running awhile.I can start and stop it and start it and stop it ad nauseum. However, if I run it as little as 30 minutes in weather greater than 75 or so degrees fahrenheit, stop it for a few minutes, an hour or so, all I get when time to re start is a groan from the starter.At first I thought maybe the altenator was draining my batteries. But eight hours later, vroom, the engine started right up without any charging.I talked with a friend and he thought maybe my starter was overheating. I talked with the guys at my local auto parts store and they agreed.Will shielding help or do I need to carry a can of refrigerant or liquid nitrogen? Do I need to ventilate the engine compartment? Add a fan? What?Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.Sincerely, Kevin
