    M1009 Starter Issues

    Under dash wires are okay. I replaced the ignition switch on the original column as well before the swap. Column was rebuilt so new switches. I believe the issue is in that purple and white wire going to the solenoid, but From what I can access it looks okay, so I suspect the issue is under the...

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Yes, new starter bolts. Starter support bracket also in place. Haven’t messed with shims but when it starts there’s no weird sounds or grinding or unusual wear on the teeth.

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Battery cables are good. This starter is pretty new. 3rd one I’ve tried as I’ve suspected faulty starters were the cause before. Solenoid does work properly when given power directly from the 24v to the starter motor and always works with the key however more often than not won’t continue to...

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Should also be noted before the original starter ran away, it started just fine. After it ran away, I’ve had this issue with every starter I’ve tried. Leads me to think I the issue is something that burned up didn’t the runaway, causing a poor connection? New relay, new switches, new grounds...

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Any fusible links that possibly could’ve got damaged when the starter ran away in the beginning? Starter solenoid is getting power but not enough seems to be the issue, since with the key all it does it click, but with a direct jump from the main starter post it turns over.

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Yes the tilt column switches are correct. I had it for sometime now replacing all the switches on it so I figured why not install to eliminate anything on the column being at fault. I am also against deviating from stock, especially electrical, so hopefully the replacement doghead relay does the...

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Well I went ahead and installed the tilt Column I had since it has all new switches. Same issue. However if you jump the starter directly from the main post to the solenoid it will turn over the engine without fail every time. Traced all wires from the relay to the starter and all seem good. I...

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Put new grounds on the truck, but still no luck. There is a clicking sound coming from the flywheel area as if there's a loss bolt but it comes and goes and bolts still seem tight. Anyone else have any ideas?

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Ground strap appears to be in decent condition, and connections aren't loose at all. Should I remove it and clean the connections anyway? Replace it entirely maybe? All connections to the relay seem solid. Same to connections to starter. Any other connections I should check? Also should mention...

    M1009 Starter Issues

    Hey all, I have been having strange issues with the starter on my M1009. Sometimes, when I turn the key to start it, engine cranks and fires up as normal, but sometimes, when I turn the key there's just a click from the solenoid, similar to a car with a dead battery. However, if I rotate the...
