8.1L won't start when hot
I been looking and searching and I only found what I have done please help. After driving an hour or so when shut it off the motor tries to turn over with a short Rrrrr then stops each time. I put new neg and pos cable, I clean motor to frame cable, new starter, new battery and the problem is still there. Starter feels hot or warm after 4-5 tries. After it all cools it starts right up

The symptoms really points to everything you changed out. Now I'm clueless.

the noise something like the starter makes the rrr or the engine? you could have gotten a bad one, kinda sounds like the solenoid not engaging the flywheel. especially if it was a rebuild.

It the motor starting to turn really slow then stops probably a1/4 turn if that. The positive cable gets about 500 amp then bleeds to 0 amps. The old starter checked good but from what I read I replace it

Cables I cleaned and 1 week ago and the engine to frame ground last fall, this problem has been going on that long. New starter and cables and last fall, new battery 2 weeks ago. Voltage yesterday was at 12.6 volts outside temp 92 degrees and would not turn over. I havent had time today but tomorrow I am going to try the ground lead test on this forum. I have actually added one addition ground to a different part yesterday but it did not help

Ok at the starter terminals I have 12.6 volts when trying to crank it, drops to 0 then goes to 11 and slowly rises. Let the key off moves back. To 12.6 volt. On the neg cable check shows 0 volts try to crank it the motor does a partial turn goes to .2 volt stops turning and goes back to 0 with the key held on it is almost like it is a relay dropping out? Outside temp today 72 degrees and the motor sat for 2 day and it took a dozen try'* then it started
