while im one of the best mechanics in my area thise one has me stumped!
ok heres the problem.
starter was replaced this summer with a napa reman unit when i did the IP and injectors.well a 3 weeks ago it started acting up on my that was using the truck.the truck would start fine in the morning but if you shut it off it wouldnt do anything.when you turn the ignition to start you can hear the relay on the fender click but nothing from the starter.if you go under the truck and have someone try to start it with your hand on the starter you can feel a vibration like the starter is doing something but doing nothing.but if you have somebody hold the ignition on start while you get under the truck with a screwdriver and short the 2 big studs accross it will start and be fine for a day or 2.i had napa replace it under warranty.its been fine for the 3 weeks and now its doing it again.i figured the battery cables or the wire from the fender solenoid to the starter solenoid were bad.theyve been junk since i bought the truck 3 years ago.well $200.00 later it is doing it again.i pulled the starter tonight so i can bring it back to napa and throw it at the parts guy in the morning.
any ideas?
