I replaced the starter with the gear reduction one that I had. I have ordered the bracket that it needs. I have started the truck a number of times and took it for a test drive, and have not experienced any issues. I know the starter needs a bracket or I risk snapping the starter bolts...

I have a brand new starter that came on the parts truck I have. The seller told me it had 3 starts on it. I don't know about that, but it sure looks shiny and new. It is a gear reduction starter, the kind they have on ebay. In fact it has a glaring little sticker on it that says "made in China"...

Okay, I'm in the -20 troubleshooting section. "high pitched whine" after startup. The TM has led me to Section II, 4-5, starter replacement. I'm going to remove the starter and read up on how to test it/ find out whats wrong. I still do not understand how it, or what exactly happened, but I...

I had planned on posting pictures, but I ran into another problem. I replaced the fusible links on the 12V terminal block. I checked continuity, and checked for voltage at the block. All was good, so I started the truck. I let it run for a while and nothing happened. I started it twice more with...

That fusible link has a tear in its coating and the copper underneath is white/ burned. I'll replace it and check the rest of the links for similar damage. I was able to stop into O'reilly's and found their fusible links. They had 16 gauge and 14 gauge. Are these too small replace the 12 gauge...

I'm currently searching. I've read the fusible links wiki, which is informative, but I'm still a little unclear about them. They are stored inside of a black rubber barrel right? How do I check to see if one is burnt? These rubber barrels don't seem to open unless they are cut. Am I missing...

I think there is supposed to be a rubber boot on the alternator post to prevent things like this from happening. Mine is missing.

So, I changed out my belts today. Thanks to searching on here, I was able to do the power steering belt with out much issue. I then reconnected the batteries to start the truck and check my work. I was concerned I didn't put enough tension on the belts so I wanted to see/ hear them run. Turns...
