I have a 1986 f250 6.9. Everything I try to start it the starter just clicks into the flywheel but doesn't crank. The engine was cranking fine earlier today. I can hand crank the engine. Is there something I can do to fix it or do I need a new starter?

 

check and clean all your connections and clean starter connections also ..

keep posted

 

That did not work. I think I blew the starter. If I'm running 810 cold crank amps and I'm supposed to be running 850 would that put more stress on the starter and cause it to blow? Thanks for all your help.

 

better have 2 batteries .. wont start on just 1 battery ...

 

You COULD start on just one but it would have to be a hot start ...but there is a battery out there made for 2x battery applications such as this and is cheaper too

 

yeah the Oddesy 2150 .. but its also $400.00 also

 

If it just clicks, have you tried jumping the solenoid? It could have frozen, usually the culprit in a clicking ford.

 

yeah the remote Solenoid on the passenger side inner fender well ..
