Hey guys,
The beast fired up find this morning and I drove to work with no issues. I came out at 2:00 to find the command start hadn't started it and it was just sitting.
I jumped in, cycled the glow plugs (it's 5*F here right now, it was plugged in) and it just went CLICK. doesn't seem to pull hard when it clicks. I hooked up some jumpers but it made no change.
New batteries a couple weeks ago, all new cables (big 3, 00 welding cable). All connections are good.
Is the solenoid right on the starter? I didn't have any tools with me at work and managed to get a ride home but now I'm back for the midnight shift and I need a good starting point in the morning.
I should be able to gather some tools tomorrow. Might get it towed if it doesn't warm up outside. I figure it's either a stuck starter or a crap solenoid.
Anyone offer any advice or start me in a good direction? Common failures, etc?
Its a 2001 F350. Thanks!
