Cold weather starting
Has anyone tried replacing the starter to fix the cold weather starting issue.
I have to plug in my block heater in temps below 20deg or the starter sticks for a second or 2 when I start the motor. At home it's not a problem to plug it in but when my Jeeps been sitting in the parking lot at work and it's -25deg I have to ask, "Is my Jeep going to start today?"
I was wondering if anyone has researched a possible fix for this condition
I was tinkering with the idea of trying to fit an older starter in it.

Mine's been doing it since new, 2007, and it hasn't caused any issues
