1999-2006 GM/Chevy: Starter Replacement
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- Start to finish video demonstrating the removal and replacement of the starter assembly on a 2004 GMC Yukon. The method is the same for all 1999-2006 Chevy and GM 1500 products with 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L engines. This includes Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra, and Yukon Denali vehicles.
On some vehicles, if you're still struggling to remove the starter once the cables are removed, you may need to remove the engine oil dipstick tube. This is done by removing the one bolt attaching it to the block and then pulling the tube out.

Seems complicated but love how the video it's short and informative. Tired of watching 12+ minute videos for something that could be explained quick.
At 1:06 - Removing the transmission inspection cover/ dust shield. I tried installing the starter with this in place on a 2003 Sierra 1500 / 4.8L for an embarrassingly long time- So long I started looking at TH-cam videos. Then I saw Master Jacks showing this cover, and oh yeah, removed the cover on my truck, and that [lovely] starter was fully installed in another ten minutes. THANK YOU Master Jacks.
Thank you for this great video. It really helped out a lot. I had tried to do in all from under the car (2003 Suburban) but this was too hard for me. I had given up and was going to take it to a mechanic, who wanted $250 labor to install my starter. After watching your video, I took the passenger side tire off and that was the solution for me. No need to remove the plastic wheels well, just the tire. Just taking the tire off allowed me to get to the electrical connections and was able to remove them using a small 1/4 inch drive socket. The starter was then very easy to remove and replace. For me, reattaching the electrical wires after bolting the new starter in seemed to work out well. Thanks again! This was a great help!
charging me around $200 for labor on my tahoe 05.
2002 CHEVY SUBURBAN …Just in case anyone was having this problem . No crank no start …… fuel and battery gauges flip up still like it’s going to start and then dead silence . Replaced starter and back on the rd . Also when it went out couple issues I had was I tried jumping it one more time with a flat head and it blew the 40 amp fuse which caused the gas and battery gauge to stop flipping up when key was turned to on position . Lastly the replacement starter I purchased was longer than the original . So if you ran into that problem just know it will ….. I repeat will fit so don’t worry . Hope I helped someone as I searched every video looking for someone with the same issue on their suburban or if the larger one would fit and could t find not one video .
That was one of the best "fixit" videos I've ever seen. Thank you for not using your channel to feed your ego, but to feed our knowledge! Awesome.
Thank you ever so much for being so straight and to the point. Lord knows there are a hundred videos on how to change a starter but none are as efficient and less time wasting than your marvelous video!! Thank you from the bottom of my 'long, miserable hours wasted watching people talk nonsense' heart. For real for real. I have watched 9000 videos on TH-cam and you, sir, are the first one I ever subscribed to.
This video helped a lot. I used my 1/4” air ratchet and your tips and did the whole job in an hour and 15 min. Use a 13 mm deep well socket for the main terminal lug nut on the starter and a shallow 8mm for the small one. Thanks!
Doing mine now . Found your video due to
Having trouble getting the damn thing back in . No way in hell you popped that thing back in so smooth . Yea it was speed up but damn you made
It look like nothing . Anyways here I go again. This has been the only hold up …… it came out damn near when I released the last bolt prettty much fell in my hands ….. it’s just getting it in …. Lol kinda like the first time . Hahaha nice job
*Just finished doing mine! Im literally sitting here next to the truck, thank you so much man Especially with the Tools needed 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽*
Quick. No nonsense to the point with a few snarky comments video! Super helpful! Thanks!
Finally, a channel that gives the bolt size! Thank you for the help.
all This
RIGHT
Amen
This video was extremely helpful, thank you. Just finished this job up. I didn’t have a jack but was still able to do this with the tire on and truck on the ground. I’ll reemphasize the part at 1:35. Take the 13mm nut off the solenoid before you try and wrestle with removing the starter, I forgot to and the starter would not come out enough. To put that cable back on at the end, I used a swivel head and two 6” extensions on a ratchet, between the frame and manifold heat shield. Play around with the positioning a bit. It was enough to get the nut on tight.
Damn this video is incredible!!!! Bolt sizes quick and to the point you even showed a cheat code come on man you can't beat this guy!!👍🏼
This video helped me tremendously. Of course I waited for the temps to warm up to mid 20s before I tackled the job.
I ended up not taking the tire off or the oil sensor plug.
Thanks! Also, thanks for listing the tools needed.
Your commentary and step by step was way better than a couple that I watched already thank you very much
Appreciate it you for making this video , my truck (2003 Silverado) would not crank battery was good. Bought the starter & replaced myself within an hour frame. In my experience I didn't have to remove the oil sensor I was able to carefully maneuver around it. Also was able to remove and tighten connections all from the bottom of the truck just had to be extra careful.
Thanks for keeping it short and to the point with some very appropriate humor on top. Good work!
Great video! Made it look super easy. I was struggling for a little there then watched your video.
The way I go it in was to grab the end with two hands (closest towards the front of the truck) and wiggled while applying lots of pressure. Eventually, it found its way and popped right in. Was originally working from under the truck, but then found it easier to work from the side.
Little tip if you take off the heat shield from the side exhaust you get more than enough space to turn the bolts. I am by no means a mechanic but this helped me a lot.
Came here for one simple reason. I bought a Chrysler 300 that needed a starter. Figured it would be easy fix. 12 hrs later I finally got it. Looking at buying a 1500 Chevy and needed to make sure it was easier than the 300
Thanks for the video. I was able to replace mine without using jack. Shimmy up under and got it out. Was easier for me to disconnect main wire then push stater back. All good great video and can be done without lift or even a jack if you can fit underneath.
Wow, dude... You took what many have described as difficult and made it look F'n amazingly easy... Whether it is, or not, is impertinent... You did a great job simplifying this daunting task... ✌️
You made it look easy! That means it going to suck really bad for me😄
Just manhandled it out of there. 1:58 sensor and harness stills connected; no worries. Just throw caution to the wind.
@@DonBMWI cant throwanything, i have a dislocated shoulder
Your video helped me save time and money. Ridiculous you need to take off a wheel and the shroud but it helped. I personally want to meet the engineer behind this design! New starter is in and fired right up like it should.
Just watch 3 other videos where they didn't take the wheel off. And they could Push the starter up far enough.and drop that starter down and get the wires off
So it took my little longer to do this, but thank you for mentioning the tire removal. As much as I didn't want to I had to take it off. Thank you for this video it helped a lot.
Good video. Thanks. I did find that with extensions and a universal joint on my ratchet I could reach the front of the starter to remove the two cables before removing the bolts holding the starter in. Really easy to install the starter.
Thanks for the video! You helped me change mine and save $300 in just 45 mins. I followed the steps, doesn't get much easier than that! Cheers.
I hit the sub button just because this is one of the nicest made how to videos I’ve ever seen
Thank you !
The video was very helpful.
An old guy working outside in the winter. :-(
Lifesaver bro! I changed my seats and the light came on. I was pissed until I saw your video. Good stuff. I appreciate it
thanks for the video. it's good to get an idea with videos like this when replacing anything on a car you never touched before. I've been working on subaru's and other imports for a decade now and still look for how to videos like this, because I never worked on a yukon or anything similar to it. my friend needs his starter replaced on his yukon and this is pretty helpful without me going in there blind.
Thank you so much for getting after all the details of the job without wasting time blabbering!
Soy mexicano espero y tengas traductor para español solo te puedo decir muchas gracias por este video me facilitaste mucho el trabajo y me ahorre 300 dlls gracias a tu trabajo tienes un suscriptor más sigue así te admiro mucho eres una persona limpia y profesional gracias bro
Thankyou Sir now I can use my vehicle after almost 2 months self diy
Thanks. Your explanation made it fairly simple!
Made it look so easy..now only if I knew someone to do it for me lol I have no tools. My next investment.
Super clear instructions! Thanks dude!
i just lift up the truck on the passenger side without removing tire. i got the starter out in 5 mins from the bottom. no need to remove anything. putting it back in took a little longer cause you have to wiggle the starter around until it goes back in.
Upload a vid of you doing it then please. Its neg 30C where i am northern canada
Everything is easier after a few times
Took me 2 and a half hours what a bitch I mean also was half way in the dark
What if I have long tube headers and not much access at top
@@1MikeStewart1 comes out from the bottom. You can put the truck on ramps and take it out that way as well

Great video! I'm doing this on my 2001 Yukon XL tomorrow. Got the old one out, waiting on the new starter from RockAuto.
Subscribed. 👍
Thanks for the instructional video, I have to do the same to my 2002 GMC Yukon Denali 😊
Master Jacks: Great video !! Having the starter/solenoid replaced after installing a new battery so I have my fingers crossed that this will be a 100% solution starting up. ( I already checked my fuses and relays). Thanks.
Great video thank you. To the point everything you need and no time waisted. Two thumbs up.
Full pump
Thanks for this. I’m in the process of dropping my transmission and last step before removing the bell housing bolts and lowering the trans was removing the starter. Was struggling to get it and it started raining so I quit for the day. I think the heat shield and wire are the hang up.
This helped a ton! Thanks for the video
When car mechanic make the car fixing video they made it in very short time. But when they going to Fixe the car they charge for 2days. Thanks guys
Took me 1h 🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you! next time I will buy the proper tools 😅
Perfect video, thanks for posting!
Thanks. I feel ready to tackle my starter now.
Outstanding ,thank you, for a clear concise video lesson
Rarely do i even feel the want to make a comment on anything. When i do though It’s because i considered it a bit more… extraordinary than most other things. Maybe that is just the description of “when great minds think alike” could be? Awesome video man, yes it was just a starter removal and install but, it could not be demonstrated much better then what just had done. This is the first clip i’ve seen as well. Again awesome work man, you can reach out to that much more people to help because of that. +1 subscriber here.
thank you for this great step by step guide
Oh gosh my yukon dosnt wanna start so took of the battery turns out its a good battery. So took off the altornator and autozone told me its a good altornator. I lost hope thinking trying to do the starter is hard but you made it look so easy. I might just try checking my starter thanks
You get it up and running? My 99 Silverado has been draining out my battery weekly. Finally she died on me. I’m going to replace the starter. Hopefully that’s all it is. If not oh well. She’s 20 yrs old. Could use new posts little by little.
Very informative … excellent video!!
Thanks for showing me that this is a big hell no for me… I’ll pay the money to have it done
Very helpful! Saved me $ thank you!
Nice job. The fender was a damn good idea. Unfortunately for me. I just wished that they were all pop out clips. But No. lol. Stay safe and a Salute to you.
Thanks for the video 👍
Thank you ! the hardest part was getting the 1st wire to unclip ! lol
Very helpful thank you!
Great tutorial. Saved me a ton of time, I am sure.
I was able to get the starter down before removing the 13mm bolt cable. Made it easier to get it off than having to maneuver the wrench around the chassis etc.
How
Great advice. Thx.
There is a bracket that holds the power wire to the frame. If you remove that it gives you a lot more wire to move the starter around so you can remove the wire without doing what you had to do
Thanks for sharing!
THANK 'S MAN FOR YOUR VIDEO.
Was wondering if i should take off the wheel well cover now i see it gives you a little more room to navigate the starter thanks and also for the nuts size
Great video!
A 1/4" sliding T bar wrench comes in handy to tighten the battery cable nut
Excellent video, helped me know what to worry about and what not to bother with. I do wonder which truck this was on because on my 3500 4wd I had plenty enough room to get a small rachet up in there without pulling the oil sensor, wheel, or wheel well
Yeah gonna try it today on my 3500 hundred. Good to know someone else has tried it.
I did not take off the wheel. I did take off the wheel well cover. A 1/4 in socket wrench with the 8mm definitely was helpful. I also sanded the terminals after I disconnected them as they had a good bit of corrosion and rust on them. And then threw on some dielectric grease when I reconnected the terminals.
Definitely shop starters online. Much cheaper than auto parts stores.
Yes,like almost $100!Friend bought one for $50 delivered!CHOCOLATE CHEAP!👍
Really helped! I used a stubby ratchet, worked great.
nice video I want to install a oil pump. will the starter have to be removed to lock down the flywheel w/ either a screwdriver or a lock tool?
are there any differnces in the 07 trailblazer w/ 5.3?
Good Video!!!
thanks . well done.
Thank ya man
My 04 GMC Sierra won’t start. Been sitting a little while. Was running fine. I replaced battery and have power but when I turn the key the headlights go out and I hear nothing. No clicking. Replaced a couple other things now I’m thinking it’s the starter or solenoid. Great video. Hope this helps me get going again. Thank you.
Don't need to remove wheel, just remove bolt holding 2 aluminium tubes to the engine, also unclip 2 electric wires below that nut that go to starter, then you can push wires and tubes out of the way so you can push starter toward front to disengage from transmission. Electric line nuts can be removed once you get starter out, removing heat shield is important, it just swivels and unclips.
Don't forget to disconnect the battery negative cable before you do anything.
Thank you
Thanks for vid! What do you think about using the signal wire , 8mm bolt wire, as a place to wire in a kill switch? thanks Maybe I can trace it up a little ways wherever it goes and tap into it a little ways away from engine?
I just did mine and checked everything I have a gap between the flywheel and starter, I mean that's where the mounting bolt holes are I cannot push it further in. The starter is new same as this it was tested I have power when cranking and constant power to the 13m nut bolt, I checked relays switched them around and it just makes a noise like it spins but teeth won't engage I'm going crazy here cannot figure it out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏...
Thanks, just the facts Jack, no BS, well done.
Good job
That dust cover, the plastic one you remove, its somehow gotten wedged between the bellhousing and the engine (case?) i cannot get it out for the life of me, it will have to be ripped out, potentially breaking it, OR leaving a chunk squeezed in there, or SOMETHING, what should i do? i need to get that piece out.
Thanknxou!
Use your smallest ratchet handles and it’s no problem to get it out at all
if its still turning over, (but barely) could this still be the starter? I've replaced the battery and crank position sensor but it wont start. It still sounds like a "dead battery" while trying to start. seems like its struggling.
I'm working on an 05 Envoy Denali, but there's part of the frame that's stoping the starter from falling through. In your video it doesn't look like you're having to deal with the frame or cross members.
Is there a channel showing how to change a GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck ??
Lol “this is a real treat” in the most mono tone voice ever 🤣
There are other ways, you don't necessary need to reach it positive terminal 13mm from fender side. move right behind the wheel and behind the frame. However you need long extension 8 inch or for connect two 4 inch and wobble socket! You need to access because of oil tube dip stick.
Is that the ultima starter? And if it is what's your review of it
Try starting the new one before replacing all the other crap in case you have a bad new starter.
Will a start get hard to turn over before it goes out? My 04 tahoe when I turn the key its almost like a very weak battery but my battery is new and holds good voltage. Just the first turn of the key
Yeah, a starter on the way out can present as a slow crank. If your battery, alternator, and connections are good, it's likely the starter. The only other thing is some type of internal mechanical resistance within the engine itself. Not likely if it's running good.
I have a LQ4 out of a 2002 2500HD and having issues finding the correct starter for it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
That 13mm bolt.. Use a 9" extension 3/8" drive and a swivel adapter. Takes about 30 seconds
Did you really pull the wires back down around the back of the starter (where they Y with the oil level plug branching off)? Or did you redo it off camera? There is no slack in those wires for anything.
If you have to turn the key back to stop the starter from turning, is it the key cylinder sticking or a bad solenoid
You may have crossed the power and ground wires. That happened to me once just make sure they aren’t touching eachother
Will this starter fit a 1976 chevy 350 engine
