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.
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 ?!

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...

I will post some pics tomorrow, my plate and posts are pretty torn up... I could probably grind...
So I just went back out to do a little more looking. Opened the front of the starter solenoid and it looks pretty bad.. The inside contact of the + lug is melted and there is copper pellets in the solenoid housing. I suspected as much, for a week or so (about 4 months ago) I was lugging the...
Thanks, I need to pull it. Have just been fiddling with it this afternoon.
I was weighing that option.. wanted to see if anyone had a spare the wanted to sell. And, this starter has seen some high water.
Hi guys,
Does anyone have a starter for a m923(cummins 250) ? Mine gave up the ghost...
Batteries are good, starter clicks sometimes, slow/no engagement most times. No voltage drop, so Im thinking its the solenoid.
Questions/comments welcome. Thx!
