97 Ford Explorer Starter Problems
The Wifes Truck didn't want to Start yesterday, turn the key and clunk and that was it. 97 Ford Explorer 5.0 AWD, with 160,000 miles.
I did the Jack up the truck and tap on the starter Motor with a Hammer and now she's starting up fine again for now.
My question is How much more can you get out of a starter when they start to act up like this?
When I drive the truck I have noticed on startup the starter does take a dip in turning over every now and then. I mentioned this to the wife and asked her to listen for this
And to let me know if she notices this on starting the truck.
I am thinking let it go for the summer months and have it fixed in Fall before the cold winter weather sets in.
Any way that's my story.
