anyone live near kinsburg calif? broke down
I'm in Kingsburg California, 20 miles South of Fresno, off the 99 Fwy. In a store parking lot about to change a the starter. Autozone in same parking lot, they have one in stock. If its not the starter I have a back up plan - new rental burb beside me. If I need to get it towed, does anyone recommend or know where I can get it towed to have them look at it? Let's hope its the starter (I think it is, I've whacked at it but I think its fried).
Thanks in advance. Posted via Mobile Device

I work for Oreilly Auto Parts and we would test your starter. Maybe Autozone does also. I'd get it checked out. They should be able to test your battery for you also

Wish I was closer, but I sure hope you can take care of it with a new starter!
What happened? Parked, then wouldn't start?

Re: anyone live near kinsburg calif? broke down
Great to hear you and the family were back on the road with just a quick fix!
That's awesome about pulling the mountains with snow, I can totally relate and feel the same way about the old burbs kickin butt. ![]() We definitely need to get the SoCal guys to meet up.

Re: anyone live near kinsburg calif? broke down
my truck does that every once in a while, i just give the starter a tap with a hammer and it usually does the trick...im getting a new starter soon though.

Re: anyone live near kinsburg calif? broke down
I know it's a year later and I don't want to jinx you , but I've heard that big blocks are known to burn up starters especially if they have headers. They do make heat shields , though I don't know if there is one that would fit your model year suburban.
I'm curious if others have an opinion. ![]() |
