Hello,
I need help!!! I've searched and searched and found a few suggestions, but no real solution. Here's what's going on.
We changed the timing and drive belts, radiator hoses, spark plugs and water pump on my truck recently. After everything was back together we tried cranking it, and it was not firing, and clearly out of time. We retimed it, and tried cranking again, and it cranked but no fire. The cranking this time seemed very ôfreeö. Almost seemed like there was too little resistance. Well, anyway, the battery could only do that about three times and thenà.öclickö and that was it. We tried recharging the batt to no avail. My friend is all his wisdom (heÆs the idiot who said he had double checked the timing in the first place) said to try a new starter. We did, same result. I put in a new battery, and it groaned a couple of pathetic turns and then back to just ôclickö. My buddy wants to tear the front off and check to see in his words,ö if anything is binding up.ö I checked all the belts, and they are at the tension they should be. I am looking for ANY suggestions you may have. I would REALLY appreciate it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
