    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!

    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 RUclips 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.

    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 .

    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!

  • @ao10s
    @ao10s Год назад +2

    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.

  • @nosandos
    @nosandos Год назад +2

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @R182video

    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.

    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.

      I would say your starter is highly suspect. Sometimes you won't even get a click. Starters often fail in cold temps when mechanical resistance and amperage draw are high. You could try wacking the side of the starter with a hammer or getting the vehicle to a warm location to see if it fires.

    Is 2006 5.3 L Suburban similar in RR for starter?

    Pulled it out so easy, I’ve been trying to get it out of the bottom of my truck for the last 30 min and it gets stuck every time

    What does no clicking sound mean? Truck has power but won't start
