Well folks, I have greatly appreciated the wisdom and support the last few years. Sprinkles is meeting its new family today. Started it's life driven by Marines and now it's going to live with one

Sorry, double post

I finally got the starter to a shop, it was the solenoid.

I don't doubt what you explained, it seems reasonable to me. But, there were no signs of life until I reversed the polarity on those terminals. Once I swapped them the solenoid did it's job

Not yet, I am out of time for the week. It is now a next weekend problem. Indid pull the starter apart because I wanted to make sure there wasn't any sludge or crap inside it. The brushes were a bit nasty as was the copper base on the shaft. I cleaned them both really well then put everything...

That wasn't the worst part, I paid about $900 for a rebuild only to find I could have bought one for that. This LMTV is turning into a boat, best two days.... bought.....sold

Problem one, I'm an idiot, the ground from the ground lug to the solenoid was wired to the wrong lug. I corrected that and now the teeth move forward but the starter doesn't turn. I am going to take it in to be rebuilt. I have a strong suspicion the oil and crap have worked their way into the...

Thank you, I kinda tried that but tried using a wire from the positive terminal on the battery. Will try jumping that when I get home!

Before I get web attacked from 100 different people, I attempted to find the information in old posts and the TM..... My LMTV had the starter rebuilt the week I brought it home. It has given me fits since I got it. I chased an electrical issue a few months ago only to figure out if I smacked the...

We have them on order, this project went onto the back burner but we are trying to bring it back to the front of the list.

The nuts had vibrated loose and completely fell out on mine. I don't have a problem replacing it my only hesitation comes from thinking my original problem came from the lack of bolts not a damaged bracket. We did a visual inspection before putting it back together. I had it off twice. The most...
