It sounds like the starter solinoid may be going out.

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

 

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.

 

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

 

starter contacts are a normal failure

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.
