Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Trucks / March 200889 chevy k1500 starting hard
The last few days my truck has been starting hard and sometimes the starter is very noisy (almost sounds like teeth clashing). I put a brand new starter on it in the summer. Surely, it couldnt be worn out already could it? -M > The last few days my truck has been starting hard and sometimes the > starter is very noisy (almost sounds like teeth clashing).

Also, it doesnt seem to be doing this all the time (maybe once out of 5 vehicle starts) >> > The last few days my truck has been starting hard and sometimes the >> > starter is very noisy (almost sounds like teeth clashing).

However since this is not an every time occurrence I would pull the dust cover off the bell housing and using a ratchet and socket on the crank pulley turn the engine over in increments so I could inspect all the teeth on the fly wheel. You may have a worn area on the flywheel. Whitelightning >> > The last few days my truck has been starting hard and sometimes the >> > starter is very noisy (almost sounds like teeth clashing).

My guess is you got a cheapo rebuilt and it's putzed out already. > >> > The last few days my truck has been starting hard and sometimes the > >> > starter is very noisy (almost sounds like teeth clashing).

The roads have been brutal up here this winter so Im guessing that all that thrashing around is what caused them to back off. -M >> >> > The last few days my truck has been starting hard and sometimes the >> >> > starter is very noisy (almost sounds like teeth clashing).

Does help to get the enough/correct torque on them bolts though. |
