Hey everyone it's Sam - I am on my way to SC but STUCK in Sky City - NEW MEXICO With starter problems. Is there anyone around that can help us out - please call me --- 530)908-4986. Thank You
I don't know anyone out there, but if you can access any tools it would be relativly easy to change your starter. I can list the tools you would need if you like.
have someone hold the truck in the start position and beat on the starter with a hammer or other blunt object or try crossing the lugs on the starter solenoid on the fender with a screw driver to get yourself started
I got the truck started using AAA to pull it.....LOL
Now I am in Amarillo Tx with a clutch that is vibrating terribly and will not release plus I still have to change the starter. This trip SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Man I feel for ya. But as noted, the starter is an easy swap. I think it is the upper bolt, some people might claim is a PITA, but I zero trouble a socket on an extension couldn't handle. Make sure and disconnect the battery grounds before starting though, you have one hefty cable mainlining to them if dangling around in some close quarters otherwise. I don't see how anyone can be lucky enough to not short it out.

I have changed mine with no problem and didn't disconect the bettery. I have a wrench cut down to get to the top bolt!
