Great tip about taking the cable hold downs loose. Starter replacements in
my 92 c1500 have been a pain in the ass becasue it’s so hard to get
eyes/hands on the connectors. I was thinking of adding a longer battery
cable, or some kind of quick disconnect, but your way is much easier.
Thanks! Doug
Awesome video. My 93 died this am – exactly same symptoms – turn key and
clock and hvac controls went out but nothing else. Thanks to your video I
know its the starter and how to change it out.
YEA THANKS , FOR THAT ONE I FOUND OUT MY TRUCK WAS CUSTOMIZED AND HAVE TO
NOW REPLACE THE FLEXPLATE BECAUSE TEETH BROKE OFF. AND YEA I BROKE MY CABLE
JUST LIKE YOU DID IN THE VIDEO. SO OTHERS BEWARE WHEN TAKING THE STARTER
OFF BE CAREFUL DANGLING ON THE WIRE. THANKS GREAT VIDEO THOUGH,
no shims were needed, my old one was not shimmed either. if someone had
customized your truck or your starter was not a direct cross over I could
see shims being needed.
I DID NOT SEE YOU SHIM THE STARTER DID YOU HAVE TO REDO THIS AFTER YOU PUT
THIS ON , I HAD TO AND IM ON MY THIRD TRY BECAUSE IT STARTED TO GRIND OVER
TIME .
thats very true, I dont mind working under it because everything is
accessible, dirt? I get flakes of rust in my eyes! luckily I wear contact
lenses so its a shield haha.

Very good. Well done!
At least there’s room to work under there. I usually get ALL the dirt from
under the vehicle in my eyes when working under it lol
looks like you need somebody to hold the camera for u

Wish they made a modern 5.7 instead of the 5.3 today. Friend’s 94 went
340,000 miles before he sold it. (Still running)
