1. Removing the Old Starter
   • 1

     Raise the hood to locate the battery. Disconnect the battery before attempting any work on the electrical system.

   • 2

     Crawl under the vehicle on the passenger side. Locate the starter between the engine and the transmission.

   • 3

     Unscrew the positive wires on the starter with a socket wrench. Unscrew the nut and pull the wires off the stud. Screw the nut back onto the stud for safekeeping. Place a piece of masking tape on the positive leads to remind you which wires are which.

   • 4

     Unscrew the negative terminal on the starter and pull the wires off the stud. Screw the small nut back onto the stud.

   • 5

     Unbolt the starter from the frame. There will be a bolt at the top and another at the bottom. Undo these bolts with a socket wrench.

   • 6

     Pull the starter away from the truck. The starter may be stubborn to remove. Tap it with a hammer to free it from the frame if necessary.

   • 7

     Place the old starter in the box the new starter came in. You will need to save the starter to return it for a core credit.
