Hello all, I'm well acquainted with 5T things but recently got this. Haven't even looked under the hood yet, don't really need to. I can judge this little book by her cover. But, she was free and my wife loves it. So I'm fixing it. Naturally. First off, I need 1 tire, 7.00x15. If anyone has one...

I just bought 2 new batteries for the 5T and knew (strong theory) this was the issue w my old batteries (about 4yrs old used probably total of 20times). But.... it had to be done. I will remember this for next time.

That's the exact color I'd like to do my 5 ton

Bet!

Awesome. If anyone in the area ever needs a hand or I can help in anyway. The ole girl is mint and ready to roll.

Hello all. I have been a member for sometime now. Been under the radar for a few years, personal stuff, u know how that goes. Me and the 5T originally from TX but are now in good ole Lake Chuck LA. Anybody in the area ?!

Also, when I got it out, saw some wrench marks on the plunger shaft. Some rusty hammer marks on the top of the case too. So looks like it been a problem (I didn't do those.. they don't let me play with hammers).

Thanks everyone for input. Got the solenoid out this morning and will be checking around for a replacement. I will probably contact you guys with starters, I think it would be a good idea to have a spare around. From what I read up on the PCBs, good to have a spare of that one too. Will PM...

Oh man that's great, thanks! I will give that a shot tomorrow when I get a look at my service tag. Will see if I can cross reference some numbers.

Thanks Juan, I found 3 TMs posted by Warthog. Those were starter specific for delco, prestolite and neece (I think that's the other design). I looked through all my TMs but I will search again here. I will post some pics tomorrow, my plate and posts are pretty torn up... I could probably grind...

Bingo, thats it. (see above post) Where do I find the solenoid kits/ new solenoid? Thank you for the help everyone !
