Wife broke my truck!!!!
Wife calls at work-"truck won't start", ah he**, "Ok whats it doing?","Won't start, It's making a funny noise", Uh-oh..."Let me hear you try it",goes out to truck, "ok, here goes....eeeeerrrrrrchchchchchssseng(you know the sound the starter makes when the teeth aren't fully engaged, *shudder*)...", " Ok, sorry, you are stuck at home- I will look at it when I get home from work" etc. click.
So I get home, bump the starter a few times, it makes the noise but it fires right up. Hmmm, I hope I don't have to replace the flywheel. I hear a "ting ting tingle ting" from under truck. Shut off truck. Crawl under the truck to pull the plastic (why plastic???!!) cover and when I look at the starter- the cone is broken clean off!!! So I pulled the starter and will put on one from Napa tomorrow. ------------------ nosurf 1971 C-10 2wd, LB, white/hugger orange 1969 C-10 2wd, LB, parts truck 1964 Impala conv. 1985 Saab 900 SPG 1996 Saab 900SE conv.
