Or it is but it will grind and hit the fly wheel and sound really bad but not turn the truck over. Try it again and it will work fine. Then it wont do it agian all day. Is this a bad starter of a very cold one? Re: cold starter [Re: redtoy88ben] #538634 12/15/04 05:37 PM Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 274 Minot, ND M MattR Mudrunner Oddly enough I had an instance the other morning. It got down to about 0 here the other night and when I went out to start it in the morning and it turned over then got stuck on even with the key off, for a few rotations and was grinding. Eventually it stopped and then started fine after a second try. I just read another post that seems similar to our problems also. Must be something with the cold weather. Maybe somebody can give some more insight. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> 04' Ford Ranger XLT 4.0l (Mr. sensible) There are 10 kinds of people in this world that understand binary, ones that do, and ones that don't.

Cold doesnt help but old dirty grease and dried out shafts are probably your causes. ~Darin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> 88' 4x4 *22R-EB Gen II* 87' $Runner *22R-EB Gen I* 85' Sillyca 22R-Esq "I LIVE IN MY OWN WORLD...THEY KNOW ME WELL THERE" Moderated by  4Crawler, 4x4Wire, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
