What's up everyone, I'm new here and I'm looking forward to chatting and discussing ideas with all of you.

Now onto my question that I have....I have a 1990 Caprice with a 5.7 350 engine, ex-police cruiser and I am having problems with my starter overheating on me. When I drive the car and the temp gets to 180 and above and I turn off my engine then I try to restart it but my starter dies. It won't crank at all and I have to wait up untill the engine cools down until it cranks up again. Now this is the 5th starter installed in my car and I am curious to know as to why I am having so many problems? Are all the solenoids on each starter defective?

I am so lost and to the point of getting rid of the car. Any help I would appreciate super greatly, thanks guys.

it sounds more like the power cable to the starter is bad!

If replacing the cable didn't fix the problem, you might want to check into an aftermarket starter/solnoid heat shield.
