All better now- Needed to add an extra ground is all. After more than a week messing around with this starter, I finally have it back in and running :jumpin:. I ran it over to a starter shop- told the fellow what was happening. He attaches the battery cable and shorts the terminals-...

Problem resolved! After more than a week messing around with this starter, I finally have it back in and running :jumpin:. I ran it over to a starter shop- told the fellow what was happening. He attaches the battery cable and shorts the terminals- whiirrrrr!. I scratched my head and the guy...

The starter is new. The batteries are fully charged. I can't figure out how to get the solenoid to release off of the the starter. Ed

I pulled my starter- the new Gear reduction 24 volt I bought 2 weeks ago to replace my bad Direct Drive model. After installing it, I find that it clicks; but does not seem to spin. I tested all wiring and finally pulled the starter out. I clamped it in my vice and gave it 24volts at the battery...

When you use the WIX (paper types) do you continue to run the foam sleeve?

I used a 10 gauge jumper to jump from the purple lead on the starter solenoid to a remote starter in the cab- the other rem. lead went to the big red lead I disconnected from the starter relay. I heard a solenoid click but no crank still. I then removed the purple lead from the starter and...

Jumper wire first instead of cutting... duh. Thanks, you saved me a bunch of splicing partner. I gotta track down some 10g wire and get on it. Man these electrical gremlin problems are the worst... Next to bottom end engine work. So it just occurred to me that the starter is easily tested by...

OK I will go check the other fusible links, How can you tell if they are cooked? The purple wire I was referring to is the solid one, not the one with the white stripe.. I have not found where it comes through the fire wall. I think what I need to do before pulling the starter is to...

More testing done. It looks like I have a ground in the SOLID purple relay wire at the relay end(unconnected). I followed this wire from the Starter solenoid through the loom tube and up to the firewall opposite the FUSE BLOCK. On the other side of the firewall I am looking at the fuse block...

Chevymike: CUCV Starter Military Equipment M1008 6.2L GM Diesel - eBay (item 280620915582 end time Feb-24-11 09:49:14 PST) Its a 24VOLT starter. Warthog: Thanks, on my way to check the fusible link. In trying to isolate the problem, I removed the large PURPLE and RED wires only at the Starter...

All of my mounting hardware was gone so I went to "the yard" and scrounged up: Long "wing" bolt with nut, triangular flange, large circular flange from various GM products. I'll gram a pic. For now it works; but it is not ideal as the wing bolt is way too long and not completely threaded. When...

Bushings cracked, Damper (shock) in place. Some rubber tubing to change and some leaking fluids to trace back- one looks like the power steering pump pressure hose. Any other thing "down here" I should look closely at and replace before it goes? I am still looking for suggestions on my NO...

I am wondering still about the starter. Is it possible I could have fried it somehow? Still trying to figure out what fuse or Fusible links might have made the burning insulation smell. Anyone have this NO START situation before: Batteries fully charged connections verified everything...

what is the sand suspended in? Oil?, Grease? If you have tried pressure washing and it is still there, I gotta wonder what the sand is sticking to?

I was sitting in my Blazer a few minutes ago reminding myself to lon on and thank you all for your insights. The battery cable at the solenoid was not touching the other wire- it was just touching the grounding strap. I pulled it off and ground the terminals as per chevymikes hint. I was out...

Warthog, Yep I have a volt meter. I tested the relay withou anything hooked up. The two smaller posts are continuous with each other- neither post is grounded to the mounting plate. Are these two post supposed to have continuity? Does the NAPA part have this? Barrman, Thanks for the logical...

Been reading the threads here looking for possible solutions: Found this: The relay I used resembled the one recommended from NAPA. I think I got it off ebay. The yellow statement above... does this refer to a possible bridge in the circuit between the Larger purple and red wires? I need to...

I just finished, sorta, putting in my new starter. The old one was a Direct drive. I installed a new gear Reduction starter and the correct brace. I just finished checking all the wires and bolts. Then I went to reattach the battery. As soon as I slid the Positive (NEG still disconnected) cable...

with the stock CUCV pintle? I see some pintles in Northerns Catalog with a "BALL" lower jaw. Not really planning on towing. Just like to have a plan in case. ;-)

I am looking at replacing the front steering stabilizer. Looks like an oem in place. Anyone have any nuggets to pass on? I was looking at KYB stock replacement, anyone like something better? Q: Do I buy the same one as for the K5 Civvy? Or bump it up?
