Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So After a month and a half my truck has the new clutch, flywheel, pressureplate, rear main seal, and u joints I started out to replace.

I also in the past two days replaced the starter and the ignition switch, to get it back running again.

I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all the help and suggestions I have gotten.

I owe you all some cold adult bevrages.

If anyone is in Upstate NY, Look me up.

Thanks,

Blindlightguy

The ignition switch was burnt out.

Maybe because the starter blew out?

I don't know but $12 and a half an hour later, it started right up.

No, the Starter is not directly electrically connected to the ignition switch.

Andym,

Cooperstown, for now, but I am moving to New Haven CT, at the end of the month, for the winter.
