Have recently become a Comanche owner. Started two months ago. I'm up to 5 trucks with one more on the way as soon as I get one road worthy enough to go get it. My kid lost the keys to my Cherokee which has been my primary road tow vehicle with a tow dolly. Any way I have two trucks that have about one foot of insulation melted off of the ground cable back from the engine attach point. I'm puzzled by this because of the main ground cable from the battery going to the engine puts the biggest load from the starter directly in the proper current path. The insulation meting is coming from heat. It is either internal in the cable due to current load or it is external from the engine. Because I have 2 trucks with the exactly the same conditions I would expect that somebody else has seen this. The starter on one of the trucks that I can start does sound really loud when compared with my 1995 Cherokee. Is it just a bad starter overloading the cable? MJ Holic
