- The Green Truck is finally getting an upgraded starting system!!!
While parts store starters used to last 3-5 years, I'm now replacing them yearly. The last NAPA starter lasted less than a year!
In this video I'll be making 3 upgrades to our 1972 C10 starting system to hopefully take care of this once and for all! I don't want to break down over this ever again! Or at least for a long time.
So follow along as I go over the upgrades and cover the installation points.
You're lucky I bought two Mini starters and neither one came with instructions or installation bolt kit with shields I had to purchase bolts and shim kit separately...
There is a trigger wire and the 3rd wire is the ballast bypass to put 12v to distributor for cold weather starting.
Hello. Im new to car repairs. What type and size bolt did you use to mount remote selonoid to chasis? Thanks
If memory serves, I just used a self tapping sheet metal screw. May have come in the kit. You just want something that will properly secure it and create a good ground.
If you have problems with the stock style starter 2 to 3 starters a year wich for me 210.00 dollars a year high torque min starter so far has went 3 years and still running strong
Yep, that's my understanding and I'm hoping it solves the issue for me as well!
Does your truck still get heat soak after upgrades?
Seems to be just fine so far. So much better with the new setup!
You cant deliver enough amps with that bitty wire
Add Chevy's all my life I never have any trouble with starters ever stop on a cheap starter to put a good starter in there for an AC Delco a regular Chevy starter you won't have no problems with it add 40 to pickup trucks never had a problem with starter ever
Talks to much and skips the instalation part..
That yellow wire is too thin
Not sure what you mean. The yellow wire is the trigger wire and does not carry a load. That's why it's so thin from GM. But the new setup had been working pretty good!
@@froehnerrestorations that yellow wire kicks the solenoid in. Is it hooked to a, relay? Coz, when volts go down AMPS go up & vice versa. Imho, that wire looks insufficient.
