IMO, it’s always best to buy new anyhow I hope that the new starter solves the issue for you
While all this is going on, a $10 drip pan is a great start to locating fuel leaks. A fuel leak, as you indicated will show an air intrusion leak. The most common fuel leak that is more difficult to detect is fuel pooling in the valley pan. This is usually from the low pressure inlet line on the injection pump.
This will be a good start.Thanks for the advice guys. The batteries load test ok but my cables were is shoddy shape. They are still original the jackets are hard as a rock and split open at the ends and the copper is crusty undeath. So yesterday I got my new DB high York starter, installed that along with a new trigger wire from the solenoid and a new positive cable from both batteries to the starter. Positive cable is 4/0 superflex welding cable, solenoid wire is an 8 ga ancor marine wire. Going to juice the truck up and see how it goes.
No pun intended unless you want it to be. Then it was.This will be a good start.
Ok. I have to admit that I didn't think about this until I made the first post.No pun intended unless you want it to be. Then it was.
