Phat, I am checking with B&M Starter and Alternator, on Palafox. Should run it by there at lunch.

And Charley, that would be a GREAT night.

Just called Southern Distributors. $235 for a new AC Delco starter. Hmmmm

BM cannot rebuild my starter. As Ken put it, the armature is whacked. They have another rebuild with twelve month warranty for $169. versus a new ac delco for $235.

Ok. I purchased the rebuilt starter, well actually my boss purchased it. Now when I get home tonight I will install it. I am thinking about building my own cables. Would welding cable work?

yes as long as it is heavy enough

Got it in! I never seen this truckncrank this fast. Will work on cables in the next weeks. Thanks everybody for the help. Saturday night i could have blown it up....

You DID remember to put the front starter support bracket on, didn't you? If not a broken block may be in your future. I know alot of people skip putting teh front support bracket on, but without it starter bolts will break OFTEN, and in some case the block cracks off where the 2 starter bolts go in.

Yep Ferm, its in. Had to remove the passenger front tire to help get to it. Which reminds me, I need to find the "skirts" that cover the gap from the uca to the fender liner. Ferm, who has the best price on Bosch Injectors for my 6.5? 136k on stock German Bosch. Time for a rebuild, one is clicking loud.
