Yeah, i was just wondering if there was a particular discipline shop I should be looking for, i.e. transmission or someone who specializes in electrical motor repair. Thanks. LOL...I did reference the manual above, so yeah. I found a new one on ebay for $400. Pretty pricey if a $100 rebuild...

I will check that now, however this happens mostly when starting a warm engine where batteries have been getting charged by the alternator. On cold starts, it rarely happens. ETA: When the truck is running, my voltage gauge sits squarely in the green, so I assume that my alternator is...
