Truck will not Start
This morning, I turned the key for a weak crank. Turn the key and it slowly crank over. Went to work came out and it had the weak crank sound. Finally just nothing but lights on the dash... I got a ride home and jumped in my other car and went off to get two new batteries. Truck is new to me after three months of ownership. So I decided to start with two new batteries that matched... She still did not crank, just kind of a clank, no crank action...

Could be bad cables or maybe a bad ground. The starter relay could also be getting tired.
Could also be the starter getting bad. PS, one of these days you'll have to tell me about that 65 fastback, I have one too!

Fastback has a 331 stroker, 5 speed transmission, global west suspension, has torque thrust but I just order some cragar eliminators. Car is a money pit and now my 51 F1 is the next pit... Here is a link for my fastback..

It is the starter. Ordered a high torque one from DB Electrical. Just have to wait a couple of days but it is worth the wait...

Got the starter for $122.00 to my front door. Pissed me of because it was drop shipped from some other company and it says made in China..WTF... I used those guys because I thought I was getting a better part. The starter in the truck has a label on it so I will try to use that warranty to get a back up starter...
