Help with a 95 6.5 no start

[WarWagon]

Even on an ac delco starter?

GM can't wait to screw us over and import Commie cars. GM already makes and imports a lot of parts in China. Again we test new parts for quality anymore.

Test voltages and then you may be bench testing the starter. It's possible it's locked up for any weird reason that you have not found yet.

close the two thick bolts on the solenoid relay. starter should rotate but not start engine.

Gotcha, super off topic but i rotated my flex plate both directions to get the bolts on, thinking backwards would that have a negative impact on anything?

Just sparks, no rurning. Im assuming my starter is locked ip for some reason as warwagon has said

I had a problem with a new starter. there was poor contact between the stator windings and the bolt that enters the stator motor housing

Its weird though because it cranked before

And jesus i have a project truck... ebrake is locked , clump of loose wires just fell out from under my dash.

Might be the remains of a remote start. Wiring usually gets hacked from those installs

from one of the thick bolts on the starter solenoid. the wire leaves the starter motor. usually a braided copper bus

Is this the truck with starter without the rear bracket?
The starter may be bent somewhere?
Is this the starter that took the piece of the flex plate?
If so, I will get a new one otherwise, you will break the new flex plate again.

This is not the same starter that took the teeth out, happened with previous owner so i put a new starter in and had to change the flex plate, also put a starter bracket on

Take the starter back to where you bought it and have it tested. Should be under warranty still

That shall be my plan for this afternoon. I can have ot tested but my parts store offers no warranty on starters or electronics

When you take it off. it will be easier to fix it.
A planetary gearbox is built into the starter, there may be a problem with jamming in it
