Changing out a starter
My truck figured that the best time for the starter to fail was while I'm on vacation in a small town in New Hampshire...at 4 pm Saturday to boot.
So how hard is it to swap out this starter. I'd try it myself but didn't bring my tools. I hear it's not hard at all and local guy (former mechanic) has offered to do it for me Sunday sometime. Is this a no-brainer for someone who has some ability or can it be screwed up and fail on me half way back home?
I had this similar problem in NH a couple years ago but it was only the starter wires that were corroded. I'll be checking that first before we try swapping it out.
Thanks in advance for the info...Scott
