How do you replace the starter in a 1996 Dodge Ram?

Answer 1

== # Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. # Raise and support the vehicle. # Remove the nuts from the terminal studs for the starter battery lead and solenoid lead # Remove the hardware securing the starter to the bellhousing # Move the starter forward to clear the lower mounting stud (V-6/V-8 engine) and for the starter gear housing nose to clear the bellhousing. This allows the starter to come down past the exhaust pipe # Reverse the removal procedures to install. Tighten the starter hardware as follows: #* Starter mounting bolts to 68 N·m (50 ft. lbs.) #* Starter mounting nut - 27 N·m (20 ft. lbs.) #* Battery lead terminal nut - 14 N·m (120 in. lbs.) #* Solenoid lead terminal nut - 2.5 N·m (22 in. lbs.) == # Disconnect and isolate both of the battery negative cables. # Raise and support the vehicle. # Remove the battery lead from the solenoid terminal by pulling the rubber boot up and removing the nut # Remove the nut from the solenoid lead terminal at the solenoid. # Remove the starter mounting bolts # Remove the starter motor. # Reverse the removal procedures to install. Tighten the starter hardware as follows: #* Starter mounting bolts - 43 N·m (32 ft. lbs.) #* Solenoid lead nut - 6 N·m (55 in. lbs.) #* Battery lead nut - 10 N·m (90 in. lbs.)
