Well I talked to soon !!!! I started it about a dozen times and everything went well. A few min ago I started it and let it run for about 5 min and it died after that when you hit the starter it hangs until you remove the battery cable. I tried it 3 times always hangs and keeps the engine...

I got the old starter that was on it before and installed it and now everything works fine. I did some measuring on the nose of the old one and the rebuilt starter and I think if i would use a thicker shim with the rebuilt starter it would be ok. But I still don't understand why the engine would...

I will check the solenoid control wire tonight (why didn't i think of the before ??) sometimes we try to make a simple problem to complex. But now this old man has a dr appointment and I will report back tonight. Thanks

I forgot to mention we replaced the ign switch with a used one from a 98 suburban that was wrecked in 2001 with very few miles on it. I think I will try the old starter and if it still hangs I will shell out the $140 for a new switch. We replaced the switch before I started reading here and...

Bench test looked good. I talked to the guy i bought the truck from and he still has the old starter he took off, hes out of town now but when he gets back home he will give me the old starter to try. Its the starter that was on the truck new for 153,000 miles.

If you disconnect the battery it will disengage the starter and reconnect the battery and hit the starter it will hang until you disconnect the battery again. If it’s a mechanical problem as easy as it is to start why does it not try to start?

It’s a new starter and I opened the solenoid and the contacts look nice and shiny and it bench tests ok.

Its running like you are trying to start it, turning the engine.

Hi gang. I'm new to the forum and new to 6.5 turbo. I have spent several hours reading but can't find anything on my problem. I bought my k1500 about a month ago and the problem started about 2 weeks later. The previous owner put new batteries and new starter on it about a month before I got it...
