93 6.5 TD 199K miles K3500 Dually. When plugged in starts easy with very little smoke. Longer crank when cold (we live in CO) but eventually starts after a couple of tries. Anybody have any luck with a hi-torque starter? Seems like whenever I put a new GM starter on, it sure seems to spin faster and start easier. Other wise she runs fine. Thanks for any inputs...

I first would check to make sure the glow plugs are working make sure all 8 are good and the controller is suppling power to them start there before you get into a new starter

Agreed. Do a search on this forum - there are a TON of threads talking about plugs.
