<p>[QUOTE="tjb10, post: 3770707, member: 51590"]Sorry I haven't been posting my numbers and what not. It's been a crazy few months and I've admittedly also been lazy haha! I have been in the shop about 6 times as well. (mostly because idiots didn't fix the problem right the first time.) The alternator went out so they replaced that under warranty. It was still having issues getting a full charge and after taking it to a few shops (and going back to some of the same ones) they finally believed me and actually inspected the starter properly. One of the posts was cracked on the starter and the nut holding the cables in place was right over the crack so someone would tighten it but it would come lose again going down the road. Starter was replaced under warranty as well I just had to pay for shop time which is BS but whatever it's fixed now. I'll post numbers in the next post.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW whoever designed this engine didn't really think it through. Not only does thee starter sit way too close to the frame, it also happens to sit real close to the leaf springs so good luck trying to get to it yourself and if you do make sure you have a good ratchet set and extension bars...and maybe a ramp to get underneath the truck better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
