    Desperate to figure this out and avoid the mechanic

    1999 2500 Quad Cab 4X4 auto with 4" exhaust, 189k miles, one rebuilt transmission, one VP44 replacement after OEM lift pump failure, FASS DRP-02 in 2010... I've been a DIYer on this truck and did a lot of stuff in hindsight I can't believe, because now-a-days I'm feeling pretty off my game and now we...

    2005 CTD starter and 1994 CTD starter-the same?

    Hi, I think I have problems with my 1994 CTD starter. It blows the 40 amp fuse often, and when I climb under truck to jump the electricity from selonoid to big copper stud, it almost wants to weld the short 12gauge solid wire to the places that the wire touches. I think my starter is pulling...

    Starter? I just replaced copper contacts and couple of other parts (foster truck)

    Went out this morning and it barely turned over. I have 2 new batteries, and a new alternator. It barely turned over, but it started. The next time it turns over , but even slower and quickly it won't turn at all. I assumed it was alternator, because I thought it was low voltage. Guy comes to...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 98.5 starter problems

    I'm having electrical problems. Pickup will not crank when key is turned. Batteries, alternator, and starter are all good. The weird thing is when I wiggle the exciter wire on the starter the pickup will start whether the key is on or off and even when the clutch is not pushed in. Also the wires...

    Archived 98.5 24v won't start...

    My 2nd gen 98.5 24v won't crank starter fast enough to start today. It has been marginal and getting slowly worse as time goes by. I thought it was battery issues as they were 5 years old, so I put a new one in last week and it did much better until this morning. It cranked, but turned too slow...

    Archived 12-valve: no cranking = no driving

    Hi all, My '98 12-valve has acted a bit funny lately and today completely died: I don't drive it that often as I walk to work. I drive it at least 1x per week. For the last 5+ weeks when I try to start her up, the cranking has been getting weaker and weaker. I've even had the engine block...

    Dreaded Dodge Starter Click ... and nothing happens

    Well I went ahead and replaced the starter contacts today. They are the LarryB kit ( LarryB's StarterContacts.com ) and the pics do not do justice. they are beefy but we will get to that in a sec. The starter itself roumoured to be a mondo heavy thing really isn't at all. I will touch on the...
