STARTER

I had starter problems and it wound up being a bad ground.

 

Have someone turn the key while you tap on the starter with a hammer. If it starts turning over,you know the starter is about dead.

 

Just have someone give you a "tug" and get it started that way.

 

I had mine go out last year on my C-15, first they replaced the batteries, but no go. then he pull started me after dropping my trl. then drove to his shop where he replaced the starter/ took him about 1 hour shop time. starter cost approx. 360.oo plus tax.

 

I wanna get some used spare parts like starter, compressor and injectors.

you can rebuild your bad starter and keep it in truck.

 

You can replace the brushes and solenoid. Usually what causes starters to go bad are bad connections on the inside jam nuts on both the solenoid and the jumper lug from the solenoid to the starter housing.

 

I remember when I shut my truck off and when I tried to start it nothing happened. I checked the battery cables and one of them was just a little loose. I initially thought it was the starter. And all it was only a loose cable. Sometimes we get lucky and it is something simple. I always check the simple things first.

 

loose contacts are hot after start operation was failed. I use infrared gun to find the problem. It is a good thing for brake system difgnostic
