Help with a 95 6.5 no start

[Will L.]

People here from all over. If you do sell it, give the new owner the info on this website to help them out. This is definitely the best 6.5. Forum around.

The amount of work you have to do is definitely affected by how much the last owner neglected. Long term cost of ownership is pretty low with these trucks. Especially if you want to do alternative fuel.

Hey guys, looking for some help now. Pulled the trans, swapped the flex plate and put everything back together, now i dont even get crank. When i turn the key or jump the solenoids i just get a click. Any idea whats up? Ive checked my grounds thourougly

it is necessary to disassemble the retractor relay.
Are your starter US970?

No, i redid the flexplate. Left the starter alone. Now it wont crank

 

[denata]

does the starter click?

 

[Aaron b]

Nope

 

[denata]

selector in park or neutral?

 

[Aaron b]

With it in neutral it clicks quietly. But i have full batterys and no crank

If you connect 12 volts directly to the starter solenoid, does the starter rotate?

No, which is where im stuck. Grounds are good. Brand new starter.

Brand new starter.

So What! New parts don't mean good parts!!! Communist China solenoids have infested the starter rebuild market. I had one of the first from a local rebuild shop. Two starters in a row in the video did this to me. Off the top of my head: If you have 9V at the solonoid and 11V at the battery cable ON THE STARTER your batts and wires are good.
