Every other video had the camera positioned immediately on the starter. Thank you for taking the time to show the location of the starter from different vantage points. It helped a lot!
Thanks a bunch dude. I climbed out from under my dad's truck, read the manual then said, "There's gotta be an easier way. I'm checking youtube." Lol. I thought the dipstick tube was going to be in my way. Thanks for the good camera angles and pointing out the orientation for front or back. That was helpful. I've worked on stuff my whole life and I'm pretty handy at it but it's always nice to get instruction from someone who has already done that particular job.
How did your starter mess up so quick? I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado that I have had for 10 years and have never replaced a starter. I'm just here to search in case I ever have to do it. The only major thing I had to change on it was the water pump.
@@strangeroamer3219 First time was because it was contaminated with oil from a rear main seal link and eventually stopped cranking. Replaced with the factory part. 2nd time was because the solenoid would no longer retract all the way.
Awesome explanation. Really appreciate the attention to detail, and explaining what direction you're looking, etc - that helps so much. Going to attempt changing mine now!
So much easier if you take the fender well off, you have easier access to the nuts, i just took my son's off today, more room to maneuver the starter, & put nuts back on, all truck wires are installed / or positioned in different angles, i found it easier this way
Took off the shield before I dropped the starter. Put the shield back on after I had the starter in place. You can do it through the wheel well, or from under the truck.
Why does it wait for 20 degree weather and blowing snow lol. Can’t complain tho I’ve owned this 2002 Silverado in Ohio since new. 250,000 on odometer and original starter.
uh what about the dust shield? maybe found it later ? or noticed the housing was full of muck? I like that room there, Mines the 2001 5.3 engine ugh yup trying to put mine back in & wow. . .
When you showed replacing the starter in the trans housing, the dust cover was not on the starter. It showed up later when you replaced the 11mm bolt. You should have filmed inserting the starter with the dust cover hanging from it...

Thank you for the video. Replaced the starter on my 2002 Silverado today. Much easier than I thought it'd be. Your video helped a lot!
I just bought a 2001 Siverado with a bad starter and dude I’ve gotta say… your video is so much better than others. Thank you.

Your video checks the two most important boxes: excellent lighting, and well placed steady camera. Good job.
Perfect job on this video! My truck has the same problem. You've made this job easy. Thanks a million!!
I did this job 7 years ago myself, but this was a perfect refresher because I need to do it yet again...lol.

@@archdukeofsynthdid you fix the rear main seal ?
@@IsaacS20 No, I paid someone else to do it.
@@archdukeofsynth how much was it if u don’t mind my asking
Excellent!!! Replaced the starter on 2004 Rado (6/16/2024). No real issues but figured it was time. Easy process but a little tight getting in there.
Super nice video. Good detail with understanding instructions and nut/bolt sizes stated. Best idea with AC DELCO part. Do it once and be done with it.

Fantastic video, showing great detail is always the best for these repair videos
Bro! This video definitely helped me out... Way better than the other videos! You da man!
I'm going to roll with the 1aauto starter. I'll be watching this video as I install it Thursday.
Good job on your video, the only thing missing was putting the heat shield back on, but it should be easy enough to figure out!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video my man, followed these steps and had an easy fix
Thanks for the great video. I changed my 3 weeks ago. I wished I had watched yours first.
Best vid out there for this job no competition
I’m a women and even I understood what to do. Great job explaining everything 😊
You rock dude. Thank you so much 🤘 hope have a great day
You've been of great help today ! Thanks !
Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful!!
Great video my guy👏🏼
Got wife's yoga 😅😅thanks bro😊
thanks for the great video. changing my starter tomorrow.
THANKS FOR BEING SO DETAILED
Great video now im abt to try it.. wish me luck
Your shoes?
Are there ground wires attached to the starter wire is that a different set of wires?
If I understand your question, I would say the wires going to your starter/solenoid are not ground wires.
@@fixitquick69 thank you
What size pass through socket did you use?
On the 13, I used a 13. On the 14, I used a ......14.
What size bolt is that for the cover shield?
11mm
Great video great visuals 👍🏻🔧
About how does this take on average.
What do I do if the cable that connects to the starter is split in half?
If you mean it frayed/has come apart, I would put a new terminal and some heat shrink on it.
@@fixitquick69 I'm not sure how to explain it but the part that goes over/around the screw split in half
@@chalkyeye5956 I would call that part a "ring terminal". Start googling.
@@fixitquick69 thanks
Thank you very much sir very very helpful good work
thx dog..u damn near did it for me
Did u take off the shield or left it on
Took off the shield before I dropped the starter. Put the shield back on after I had the starter in place. You can do it through the wheel well, or from under the truck.
Is it the same for 4 wheel drive?
Thank you!! AC Delco..!! smart man ..good choice
love how that AC Delco box says Detroit Michigan.... yet AC Delco parts are actually manufactured and assembled in mexico.
Have a question what type of sounds was ur starter making on the old one
Kindof grinding/whining. I put it in the video, but hard to hear.
Great video
Definitely want to sand down the contact to the starter for less resistance
Thank you brother!
That torque wrench though. I need dat bi.
Once I put the new starter in I started it up and it dies out once I put it in gear 2003 avalanche
@@robertlopez2275 Glad to hear it's starting!
You got a great grip on those nuts, we are one in the same
Question would something happen if I don’t unplug the oil level sensor???
It's just to get it out of your way. Not gonna mess anything up if you don't do it.
I put a new one on couple days after same noise
@fixit help me
Good job brother...
Great job
Was this a 4x2?
Yup.

A wizard did it.

I don't wear comfortable shoes
Ya, it fuck'n sucked. Would have been a lot worse if not for your tips.
It's never a good idea to wear jewelry while mechanicking
Can I still wear my earrings and tiara?
Got wife's yoga 😅😅thanks bro😊
