Jay Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I know this is gonna sound stupid, but have you had the battery tested? I mean from a parts store? It could be that your battery is worn down, or even possible that it doesn't have enough cold cranking amps to turn the motor over. Could even have bad battery cables or cable ends. If their not tight on the battery it won't start. Might also be that the new starter is bad. Test it off the truck and see if its working properly. This is just my first thought. I've had these things happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridergoatee Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 :agree: And double check all ground connections. They can be deceiving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Some people run an extra ground from the battery to the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Are you sure the engine isn't seized? Pull the spark plugs and see if you can turn the engine by hand with a breaker bar on the nut at the front of the crankshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeMJ Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 found it it seems that my starter is not grounding properly when we retested on the bench we had to ground the selenoid body with the ground prong if not the selenoid would push the gear out but wouldn't turn the starter thanks for the answers that will be one for the years to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I Hate electrical problems, but it seems to be the culprit alot. Its usually a good idea to check wiring first. Plus its a cheap fix, my favorite kind :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeMJ Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 the damn starter would not stop giving me probs so I went and bought a new one fired right up so the prob wasn't the electrical but the starter itself thanks all for the replys Dominic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
