99 f150 starter problem
Good Morning all,
I just installed a new starter on my 99 f150. It started right up but with a little hesitation. Anyways 2 days later the starter is out again. it is turning over but will not start the truck. It sounds like it is not chatching the flywheel. did I do something wrong? Maybe the bolts are not tight enough? Any suggestions?

Welcome to FTE bkinbirmingham! 
Chances are that the starter is fine and you have a wiring problem instead. Make sure that all of the electrical connections at the battery, starter relay, and the starter are good solid connections. If you have any doubts about a connection or wire, clean it up or replace it. If you have a DVOM and know how to use it, put it to work! Good luck!
