I'm Awesome
Hi all,
My GMC has 132K on the clock, and as far as I know, the starter is original.
It works just fine, spins the engine over with plenty of torque and all, but I seem to be having an issue once in awhile.
It probably only happens 1 out of every 100 start cycles, but I'll turn the key forward, and hear a sort of metallic "click" sound from under the hood. Not like a relay, but perhaps the starter solenoid engaging? The starter itself is silent. hit the key again, and it fires right up.
Testing the starter will do no good, as it happens so infrequently.....I'd just hate for it to fail on me at a bad time (which they always do.)
Any ideas folks? I don't mind buying a new Delco-Remy starter, but if I don't have to, I won't.
All connections are good, I keep my baby clean.
