I’ve found this also. Lots of starter issues come down to arc burn and bad connections.
Take the starter connections loose and clean them all. Wire brush, sand paper and a dob of dielectric. Never hurts to run an extra ground if she’s a greasy pig.
Great progress man. It’s giving me flashbacks of the 84 big block square body I just got “finished” 95%.
I’ll be starting on my greasy old f250 shortly.
Keep it up. Thanks for taking us along.
In my life things of this nature only happen when the deadline is tight. If it’s just a project truck the parts are rearly an issue. I hope he can get them situated and back to you quick.
I’m sorry to hear your having such a hard time with this. If it’s any help reading through this is helping me diagnose the many issues with my shut box. Lol. At least there’s that.
Thanks for the heads up. I should have mentioned it’s 15/40 T4.

So I have done some reading in regards to this unit. With my 330,000 mile honey I’m assuming it needs replaced although I’ve yet to remove and clean/ inspect it. When reving the truck with the air cleaner removed I can see a jet of vapor firing into the intake manifold. It’s quite a stream of...
The 93 I just picked up only has a small bit of bubbling on the cab corners. The whole underside is rust free with exception of a little light oxide around the seat bolts. It came from California. Smells like communism and air fresheners inside. It’s a good builder.
Sounds like a bad alt to me. I’d check all your connections and jazz first. Doesn’t take much shmuu to create a lack of connection. I’d be willing to bet more than one Starter has been replaced over a bad connection when the fella was sure it was a bad starter. Same applies with the alt...
I guess the delivery dude wanted to see what’s in the summit box? 3” exhaust builders kit. Guess I need to count the pieces.
Y’all should see the bird snot straight pipe someone bubble gummed on this poor truck.
E4od?
I did a fluid change the other day. Internet claims 17 quarts of ATF. Seems high.
I added 12 and it’s reading really high on the stick.
I’ve not started the truck, it’s just been sitting in the driveway.
I have the shallow pan. Any of you fellas care to clear the mud from...
