Stuck with a no start at work
Hey guys, I just went out to move my truck at work and the starter is not engaging. You can hear the starter working but it does not start the truck. Like its not engaging the flywheel. how hard is it to change out the starter in these or would this be a solenoid issue? Please help as Im stranded now at work, gotta go camping in two days too. Thanks guys

+1 on the loose starter. I've seen a few threads on the subject lately, also broken off bolts. I think there are three bolts? Not too hard to work on. Top bolt is easier wir a socket and extension about same legnth as starter. Be sure to disconnect BOTH batteries if your going to wiggle it around much. Don't want to do any welding by accident.

Amen to that.... I did that once with my S-10 While underneath the truck I never did get all the brown stains out of my draweers..... Imagine a unexpected arc welder about 6 inches above your head....
