As you may or may not know, I have been chasing down a starter problem with our M35A3. It is the typical solenoid issue, however, upon digging a bit deeper I may be replacing the Starter Relay as well. I just wanted to share my experiences with other SS members as the -A3 is really starting to become available through GL, DRMO, and other sources.
The Starter relay that was on our truck is a Prestolite 24 Volt WSE-4101AT, or WSE-4101A. The good news is that Skip at Prestolite was SUPER helpful. The bad news is that he told me that relay has been out of stock/production for about 6 YEARS+
Yes, I know, this is the norm for these trucks as they weren't produced in the numbers the -A2 was, however, very disheartening.
However, upon shooting e-mails to most of the major suppliers for MV parts a few of them have them in stock...but they are EXPENSIVE (as are most MV parts). I just wanted to pass along this part # and my experiences with it. I am thinking about starting a thread specifically for the -A3 owners and their experiences with parts, locations, etc.
