Thanks--I did catch that bracket issue by shear luck; ran across mention of it somewhere on here, so yes I did get the correct bracket. I may consider the conversion at some point in the future, but right now I'm just happy to have my truck running again. My other vehicle, a crappy late model...

edpx, that is quite an ordeal! When the starter doesn't work, the solenoid does make a very solid "click" each time, so it does seem to be getting enough juice, but you're right, checking continuity around the whole system might be a good idea, if I get around to it this weekend. Meantime...

This seems to be the consensus. I'm going to take the original to a rebuilder. Thanks!

Yep, I did that. The last time the starter didn't work, I used a jumper wire to bypass the relay. Click, but no go.

I hear you. I'm not a fan, either. Hey, is there someone you might recommend in the area to get a starter rebuilt? Or possibly, I might get the parts and take a crack at rebuilding it myself. The original one is the 27MT, isn't it? Or do you know how to identify it?

Yes, indeed! I go downtown alot, and I'm seeing more of them down there (or maybe I'm just more aware of them). I think the urban hipsters like them for the cool factor, and they can run biodiesel and WVO in them. There's a dealer in Highland Park . . Motorsource . . . who sells a lot of...

Ryan77, I'm in Forest Park. It's still 24v. All the connections are clean and tight. 197thhhc: It doesn't look rebuilt. The housing and all externals look brand new. Exhibit A: the label on the says made in China. Anubis8472: I'I'm not looking forward to unbolting this thing, which will be kind...

Although this is my first post, this site has been invaluable to maintaining and upgrading my trusty CUCV since I got it over a year ago. Thanks!:lol: I just installed a new starter yesterday after the original one wore out. I got the new one from an outfit on ebay called DB Electrical. The...
