QuestionI have a 96 GMC Senoma 2L, 4cylander standard truck that is giving me problems starting. I
went to town the other night for dinner, and it would not turn over when I got out of the
restaurant about an hour later. I got a jump and went home. The next day it started fine. I went
into town and came home no problems. Then about 20 minutes after getting home I had to go
out again and the truck would not start. The battery was replaced 4 mounts ago due to the truck
not wanting to start on cold mornings (problem fixed ), the alternator has been checked it is
good. Now my 15 year old son is trying to take off the starter to check it and it will not come out.
He has removed the two main bolts; and, their are no nuts in place that would have secured it to
the “V” shaped bracket on the radiator side. Yet, the starter does not move more than a
millimeter. It has been suggested that we remove or loosen the bracket; however, neither of us
has been able to find any bolt that is holding the bracket on. Their is a rather large wire blocking
the very top half inch of the bracket but I can not move it out of the way to see if there is a bolt
under it. What are we doing wrong? I am not mechanically inclined and my son is new to this.
Any help would be appreciated.
AnswerHello Wendy
the bracket as to come out it is a big job some of thoes trucks you have the motor as to be raised to clear the excaust and bracket .
You would be smart to have a shop do this but if your son wants to remove it the motor mount blots have to come out so u can raise the eng.
then the starer will come out.
Good luck to your son sounds like a good kid for helping his mom.
And good luck to u hun and u have a pretty name
