Gave up the on the starter
I gave up on the starter - got one of 3 bolts out but my socket extensions could not reach the other two bolts. So I am just going to have it towed to Don's and let someone put fix it on the lift.
Truck doesn't start...
Back a when the snow had drifted a few feet deep I cleaned off the truck and drove it to get it warmed up and keep the battery charged. I try to do this arround everythree weeks or so - so two weeks ago I went to do the same - no start. I charge the battery, no start. I clean the battery terminals - no start - just clicing. I change the batter terminals - no start (no cranking) - the battery is charge but I try to jump start - no cranking. With the jummers attached - I short the upper starter solenoid - no crank.
So I look underneath - connections look clean and dry so either the start is dead or the plunger solenoid is stuck - I tap the plunger with a hammer - no start. Now I need to replace the starter and lets see if that fixes it.
