Just a little problem or ?

[mkcustoms881]

So I have a 1998 Silverado with the 5.7 so the other day I went to start it and all I got was a click , click so I taped on the starter and nothing , brings me to today which is 4 days later and I just tried to start it again and it fired right up , so my question is ,there something on the way out? Something I should be preparing for or any ideas where I should look ? Thanks for looking.

If you have no mechanical skills, diagnostic troubleshooting, or don't know how to use the service manual a good service garage is for you.

Check the cables?

Yes I did check the cables and the grounds and everything was tight and not rusted , maybe just a 1 time thing hopefully it’s never done this before so I was curious

I had mine came just a little loose one day backing out of a parkin spot. Truck died. Wiggled cables a lil n everything came back on. Battery terminals could be wallered out if it's older. Seen some guys switch to a bolt n nut instead of the OEM bolt. Can run bolt in, run nut down to keep loops tighter on the battery.

Yes...everybody gotta start somewhere! Nobody is born knowing how to troubleshoot or repair their vehicle; if they have an interest then a relevant forum is a great place to start.

Well to the point of the others I would get a meter and check battery voltage and make sure the alt is producing charge
