What are signs of a starter going out? I backed mine out today to get to my riding mower out and it hesitated a bit like a weakish battery but the battery gauge on the dash showed good voltage. Did it a little bit again when i moved it back in after 1 HR of mowing. Pulled it in and turned it off and restarted right away and it was normal. It sat for about 10 days before moving today.
Well crap. Is it a good idea to go ahead and change it out now before it fails? I'm guessing it is a bitch to change out on a 100. Maybe it can be part of its physical therapy at 49 cruisers by @offr0adlim0
Starter is under the intake manifold. Intake must be removed.
Charge SHUSH for 7 hrs, do Andy's for free. Everybody's happy.
@offr0adlim0 is that the driver side, because my manifold is rattling like crazy. I probably need to do both at once?
Refer back to SCC last year...

Intake manifold. You are thinking exhaust. Look for a shield that may be loose. You can hose clamp it.
@wngrog I should have said tick, and it gets worse under load so it's not the shield I don't think, it's the exhaust manifold.
but I haven't fully investigated yet.....ie the truck is to muddy and I've been to busy to get under it.
^ that @BMThiker looks frustrating

Holy s***. They probably stick it there so you can't hit it with a hammer. After some advice I am going to replace the battery to see if it helps. Doesn't hurt to have a new one.
@AndyO78FJ40 how old is your battery. I just checked and mine is 3 years old, but truck does some sitting so I may atleast have it tested.
odd thing is my start issue is intermittent. will go 20 cranks (a week) without doing it, then suddenly it'll turn over but not start....

@ntsaint i know. I need to take care of it.
Im no 2uz expert but this doesn't sound like any starter or battery I have ever had fail. Is it turning over full speed or sound like it's dragging?
@Bossman full turn over. Ive read threads on key fob issues, alarms, starter solenoids, gizmos in steering column, coil pack, etc
Im clueless
