The starter on my '94 Cheyenne, 4.3 L, with 146k has just started not engaging the first time I try to start the truck. The second try it engages and starts normally. Is the starter going out?

Is the starter going out? Maybe, but first clean all the electrical connections to shiny-bright and re-tighten properly. Disconnect the positive side of battery before pulling any connections off. >> The starter on my '94 Cheyenne, 4.3 L, with 146k has just started not >> engaging the first time I try to start the truck.

If the starter is spinning but not engaging the flywheel on the first try, it's the starter that's going bad. If NOTHING happens at all, then your advice is a good starting point, but it could also be the ignition switch itself.

I cleaned the positive battery cable (it had quiet a bit of corrosion) and the starter hasn't missed a lick since. I appreciate all of the help you guys gave. Thanks Jerry |
