Well was running between Dialysis centers today delivering some Scales. And went to start truck . all I got was the big cluck not the dead battery click. So luck would have it I had a extra starter I was going to drop off tomorrow for rebuild.

Had the shop guy come get me and I took the new 08 F450 4x4(sweet nice buckets ) acrossed town to rebuild shop . 20 minutes latter I had it in hand and headed back to replace. Started right up. Never had one go like that without a few times of acting up that a bump or 2 of key turns her over .

Oh well at least I got piad to ride around for a change.

If I got the big cluck, I'd be looking for a chicken and large grade A eggs underneath my truck..............There is something VERY, VERY wrong with a truck making noises like a chicken ;)

I got the big click a few times several weeks ago. Rapping my starter with a 1/2" ratchet drive did the trick ;)

My stang starter has a dead spot, sometimes I have to try 2 times to start. Been doing that for umm 6 years since I got the car lol. At least u got to get paid to work on ur truck.

My AC Delco in my truck is great. If AutoZone was cheaper I would have gotten it. As I know most the kids there so they would swap it for me. After I killed my engine once, Im not going to be wheeling for a while.

I get mine rebuilt locally. The magnets r glued in theses starters and they break easy when hit to much. I had a few session like that . But I had cleaned all terminals and no problems for weeks. I'm lucks I was near shop and not 2 hrs away.
