Could really use some guidance. I’ve had an intermittent starting problem for several years. Finally getting serious about fixing it. Truck either cranks up easily, or I get the one click and then nothing. Will usually start after several tries. There have been times when I try approx 20 times with no luck. Usually jumps very easily.
I’ve read a lot of posts on this topic. Unfortunately, I’m ok mechanically, but have little aptitude for electrical issues. I put it in the shop last week to see if my mechanic could track down the issue.
Any reason to try a different starter? The guy that rebuilt the starter says he has installed a starter relay to solve similar issues with LCs in the past with good success. Thoughts?
Really frustrated by this. I know this has been discussed, but would appreciate any feedback.

- He says he meters 12v to the starter, even when it just clicks, so he thinks it’s the starter.
- I put a reman Denso in about 2 months ago. I figured it was fine, but I took it to a guy locally that rebuilds them. He confirmed it was good to go.
- Battery is about a month old. Mechanic tested said it is fully charged
- Thick cable that goes directly from the battery to the starter is brand new.
- Thinner cable with the connector that fits the plug on the starter has not been replaced. Maybe consider replacing that?
- The fusible link was new about a year ago. I have a spare, might try that.
