underneath at the front dead easy to reach assuming its the oil filter you are referring too
Too broad of a question to answer without knowing the make of your truck, and the motor which is in it.
where ever you got that starter from retern it and get the exact same starter , with the same amount of teeth too!!!!
The fusible link on a starter motor is designed to prevent too much current from reaching the starter. This can lead to permanent damage for even total failure.
First take out the blower motor on the passenger side. Just the motor not the whole assembly. There is a bracket on the end of the started and take that off too. Disconnect wire from starter and take off the 2 bolts holding the starter. Also disconnect transmission gear selector cable by the starter. All this is a tight squeeze but it can be done. Or go to Autozone.com and they have a diagram that helps too.
Yes, and no. Althou physically, they are the same, there are differences.. First, the starter is in the opposite location, and there are no bolt bosses there. You would have to drill, tap, and dye the location to relocate the starter. There are other diferences too..
no ! you can replace this motor , it`s very easy
You can feel around for the bolts and wires once you remove them you have to twist and flip the starter to remove it it sucks a hoist will help and lots of light ... small hands/fingers too
With the flywheel spinning at about 1,000 RPM at idle, the starter, if engaged with the flywheel, would be forced to spin between 15,000 and 20,000 RPM. Once the engine has turned over and is running, the overrun clutch will release the starter from the flywheel and prevent the gears from re-meshing (as in an accidental turning of the ignition key) while the engine is running
looks like the starter motor. the clicking sound appears to be the solenoid on the starter motor. when you turn the ignition, the solenoid click and its supposed to make contact to the motor. if the contacts are dirty, then the car won't start. repeated clicking will eventually make a little contact allowing the motor to turn. try changing the starter motor or servicing it. you can do it urself. remove the motor and pull the solenoid out. clean the brass contacts. they should be under the connections where the wire from ur battery connects. if it seems to be too much work, just get the motor replaced.
several syptoms: hard too turn over, needs a jump most times(always check charge on battery first)
None, it is an electric motor In fact, most cars have SERIES connected starter motors - an electric motor where the field windings (the ones that are fitted to the case of the machine and don't move) have the same current flowing in them that the armature (the rotating part of the motor) has. A series motor has very high starting torque, so it's ideal for getting a large lump of scrap metal turning over, but it has poor running (high speed) torque and poor speed control. (Speed control is so poor that if you spin up a starter motor without a load, it may over-speed and possibly throw its windings out of the armature!) Some starter motors use permanent magnets for the field system - these magnets are quite powerful and give the motor good starting torque, and magnet systems are smaller than the series coil systems, and make the starter motor a bit lighter and cheaper. These motors also have a lower top speed at no load, too.
