    That's the way it sounded. 13 mm socket with swivel and extensions. Blind on that top bolt.

    There is a little wire that goes from the solenoid to the starter motor pretty common for it to rot out.

    Disclaimer, I never broke federal laws of tampering with odometers but I might have witnessed it.

    That odometer comment got me thinking. This is for Monday:
    Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today? I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look.
    I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.
    When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" I just say, "No, it's for company!"
    Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance."
    The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
    The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
    Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.
    The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble.
    Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs?"
    Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
    Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved.
    Ah! Being young is exciting but being old is comfortable.
    Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.
    May you always have:
    Love to share,
    Cash to spare,
    Tires with air,
    And friends who care.
    Happy Monday!

    I put a lot of miles on a dark blue GMC just like that 305, auto 2wd long bed and stripped besides AC, auto and 305. Good truck, but gutless. especially when loaded to the top of the bed with ans and bottles of beer. even without the beer it wasn't anything remotely close to spirited acceleration. heck, when filled with beer, I suppose it had to be considered spirited acceleration

    I remember having to hit the starter on that truck twice because the starter was failing. We did not risk a third hammer whack and bought a starter on the way up north and only shut it off when we got to the cabin.

    Good one with the curfew Cb.:coldone: I have the 5.4 in the Lariat and was wondering why the truck puked as he was driving it, if it is the starter? Alternator i can see but why would the starter kill the engine? Just asking as i got almost 300.000kms on mine.:picard: :salute:

    That one has me wondering as well. Why would it die while driving if it was the starter?

    I think it pooped in the driveway when he went to restart it.
