Good Day all,
My starter has progressively begun to fail to engage the engine. When I start the truck, the starter will spin but not make contact with the flywheel (flex plate?). I'm not sure if this is just an adjustment of a sign of the solenoid failing?. The truck is 2000, and I believe this is the original starter. I purchased this directly from GovPlanet in 2019. I am struggling to find an assembly manual for these starters. I just don't want to throw something that seems to be this well built out without trying to repair/rebuild it. Eventually, after 3-5 tries, it will engage and start the truck. Also, once everything has warmed up, it seems to be more reliable than when cold. Is it worth trying to fix? I hope so. Thank you for any input. I usually check in about twice a week.
