2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Starter contacts

[Rattler]

My starter had started clicking and no-start so i ordered the Larry B kit last week. The parts came in on saturday and i installed them today. This had to be one of the easyist fixes i have done on my truck. For anyone considering replaceing thier contacts the hardest part is removing and replacing the starter. Randy

Where did you buy that kit?

 

[Rattler]

You can get the kit at Larry Buck Inc. at www.fostertruck.com.He carries other parts, but the starter contacts are all that i needed. It has been said that the contacts are all that really wears out on these starters. I have 170k on my starter with this being the first time it has required service. Randy

THanks, I am thinking I am having issues like you were having. It does the clicking thing about 1 out of 4 starts. It will eventually start when it does but is annoying.

You are running a risk of the worn contacts sticking. If that happens it will burn up your fuel solenoid.

Same exact thing that mine was doing. Put in the new contacts, haven't had a problem yet. Been about 2 weeks.
