Starter failed after airing up tires yesterday. Wouldn’t start this morning to air up again.
Got it going after heat 2 with a jumper wire on the solenoid and a truck mechanic tapping on the motor. It would drive the bendix in but not spin.
Same failure mode after parking at home.
Starter is out, that was about an hour job or a bit more. Getting it back in will be super fun. It’s a force fit between block and frame rail. Size of a 2L pop bottle plus add a giant nose cone, and probably weighs 60-70#.
Unless Arie needs a challenge I’ll head to that place I got my alternator tomorrow, but they have one on the shelf.
