wish i would’ve found this video about two hours ago, before i started the job. got it done and then found this, was able to check i did everything right. sure enough, i didn’t know to put the old shims back in, and the new starter didn’t quite engage the flywheel. your video is the only one that showed them! thanks man!!
Nice video dude. I'm starting to have issues with my 93 s10 4.3L V6 cranking and I have yet to replace the starter on this used truck. Thanks for sharing.
I have a 1991 Chevy S10 with a 4.3L engine, 4x2, Tahoe version. I'm amazed at the amount of room you have from the top looking down. Was yours a smaller engine? I am only able to see a sliver of the starter and there is absolutely no way to access the 2 nuts from the top. I had to use swivel sockets with 12" to 16" extensions. The only access I could get was from the top of the right front tire. That, too, was a huge pain to get to and is very difficult to put the nuts back on. I learned a trick from another youtube video when taking the old starter out (and putting the new one in). They took out or completely loosened four 15 mm bolts that hold the housing that the starter nose hits when attempting to drop it. Without doing this, I spent at least half hour manipulating it 1,001 different ways to no avail. Drop the housing and it comes out much easier.
I used to work at Auto Zone. You’re gonna have to replace that starter again as with all their lifetime warranty parts. Same with alternators, plugs wires coils brakes it’s all garbage.
Where do you put the 2 little wires? I have a big word from my battery and a small wire from battery both positive. I also have a small wire coming from my wiring harness. When I hook the battery with the two small wires both on the small terminal and the big one on the big terminal it sparks and tries to turn over.
Thanks for the vid very well explained on the install.. information like this is why i get on youtube!

At least we know you'll never die from a car falling on you. I've seen safe, but you're on a whole other level lol. Nothing wrong with it.
Thanks, man!
Your Welcome. Good Luck. Thanks for watching.
Color coded sockets? Sweet

Great video what wheels are they
82 Corvette
Live your vids Dan keep it up
Thanks For Watching.
Good video though even though I discourage Auto Zone parts
What about using painters tape to hold it in place while you install it
Much of this job can be done through the fender well

$55 four years ago $119. plus taxes at AutoZone today, never said a word about core charge.
They just told me $230 today for my 2.8

Mine only had two small wires to attach. They go back in the same Place. Your Battery Should be disconected while doing this.
Hot glue shime in place prior
If you neglect to install the brace you'll be back soon
you paid $5,500 for a starter?
Of course not. That would be Stupid. It was around $80.00 The Normal Price.
@@danjarrett it says $5500 in the description.
@@ScreamingEagleFTW Mistake in My Typing. it should have read $55.00
