Starter dying?

[evillecutter]

130 and they had it in and out in under 2 hrs. Having a lift must be nice... Lol

awesome glad you got it fixed!

Recently developed a similar problem. Occassionally it will click and not start. Then, if I finess the key to just the right spot, I can get it to engage. At first I thought this was the ingnition switch but it has to be the starter since all the electrics function. It's been doing this for a while... anyone know how long before it craters completely or might it just stay this way indefinitely?

Not looking forward to getting under there and having to mess with my half-corroded exhaust first nor do I have a good way to lift it up . Anyone know of a shop in Denver they would trust?

Mine did it for about 2 months before it actually let me down, but that is pot luck and might be an expensive ride home.
Also, when mine did fail, it was stuck engaged, so the starter was cooked by the time I realised there was smoke coming from somewhere.
Lucky it did not catch fire.

Don't leave it too long.

Thanks. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet. Only one remaining ISUZU service center in Denver... clear across town. If I'm going to crawl under there, I should do it before the weather turns.

So, what size exhaust gasket do I need ? part#, something helpful. Turns out I can unbolt the starter and remove the wiring in about 10mins. But, can't seem to get the pos out.
