    Well after checking fuses and nothing wrong, hit the starter with a hammer and it turns and off we go... Looks like I have a new starter in my near future

    The Starter Solenoid is on the way out, outside and engine heat amplifies the problem even more.

    Not this week, replace it today. Yes today. Tonight. This hour.

    Do not accept any major or minor flaws and failures in your equiptment, lives depend on it working well.

    I changed mine back in December on a 2013 DD15. Pretty easy, just get the wires out of the way. Had to use a wobble type extension to get at the back inner nut. Loved that it sits on studs now instead of bolts, so you can undo them all then pull it out. Easy to slide back in, the studs support the weight while you put the nuts back on.
