How hard would the install be for this!

Easy. You could do it without removing the intake manifold, but removing the IM would make things much easier.

Three 15mm bolts; two from the transmission side, and one from the engine block side. Then I believe a 13mm nut for the B+ wire and thats it.

Torque for 15mm bolts is 50 ft lbs.

Why do you think its your starter?

Does it make a clicking noise when you try to start it?

well i work in the motorpool been working there for 9 yrs with the mechanics and i had one of them check it in the bay and they could only figure that it was the starter after checking everything else so i'm bringing a tool box home from the motorpool and knocking this out tonight gotta love some of the perks of the army. AND YES THE CLICKING NOISE WAS OCCURING!!!

Dont change your starter yet. Put a battery in it. Dont jump it although it might work. Find another srt and try their battery or just buy a new one. Bet it solves your problem.

tryed it today after i got off at autozone they charged the battery n everything and still clicking so i went ahead and ordered the starter since it takes a day to get here so i'm taking the old one out this afternoon and when the new one comes in giving them the old one and getting my core refund back

ok so i took the intake manifold off to get to the starter and kinda clean it up a little bit anyway when it took the intake manifold off and looked in the cyclinder head all the valves were up except for runner number 3 so the question is whats the damage

Nothing is wrong dude. It's fine.

Torque for IM bolts are 200 inch pounds. Torque middle one first then alternate every other side.

LOL must have broken the wires inside the platic shielding when taking out the IM.

Most annoying part of taking the intake manifold off is putting the coldside pipe back on.

SRT4ARG · 08-30-2009, 09:18 PM

well i got the tps repair kit but the damn plastic green piece inside of the the tps itself is stripped all the way around so i ordered one from autozone
