gota wack my starter
 

so this moring i took my gasser to work and it was fine. came back home for lunch an wanted to take my diesel back. went 2 start an just a clunk like it was'nt engaugin. from ownin a ford i knew i had to wack the starter. is it common on our trucks like it is for the old fords?

only when they go bad,

lol, its on the list of new parts!

there not bad to change out nothing like the big trucks

It sounds like the starter solinoid may be going out.

I hear you there.what a pain in the butt:madd::madd:.

yah for real the ones in the hummers are 24 volt them damn things are so heavy try'n to hold up an get them damn bolts in an the shim

That sucks.I think the people that design trucks and regular vehicles are brain dead sometimes.They should be made to work on these vehicles and see what it's like to work on them.:ph::ph:

X2 they build the truck around the motor frame and all, I would love to kick them square in the hang downs :argh: :bat:

starter contacts are a normal failure

LarryB's Dodge starting problems solved here.

Amongst all the jobs that one can do on a vehicle, changing a starter on a Dodge truck is nowhere near enough to complain about.

Changing a starter on a Cadillac Northstar is on the level that you can complain about.

got my new starter only 345.00 going todo it after my lunch is done.

dont think you needed a new starter just the contacts

x2 there very easy to change and cheep

:humm: $345 or $20?? Which is more?



You can just do the contact and plunger and it will likely be good for 200k more miles

oh well to late, shes back up an runnin like brand new with 2 brand new red tops an a brand new bosch starter!

I would to.

wow, those arnt cheep starters at all, you can but about 30 rebuild kits for that price. i had to do the same thing on my truck when i bought it, takng it out isnt as bad as putting it in, especially when you drop it:argh:on yourself

what if you've already changed the plunger and contacts to the ones from larry b s and the starter still clunks some times?

try the rebuild again if that dont work get a new one

Yea I bet its just a starter contacts I just did one on my truck...
