New Guy to Pick on !
Ok since this is the only board on the web that has good people with good answers I'm asking this question here. Today the starter on my CUCV went kaputs. I beleive it is a 24V starter. My question is do I need to get the military starter or is this available at most auto parts stores?
Thanks

not sure. I'd take it to a rebuilder, try "generators" in the yellow pages. Usually much much cheaper than a new part. My dad tells me he used to rebuild starters all the time, but that was way before Checker on every other corner. Rebuild!!

Don't over either a 6.2....ever. A buddy of mine had his starter hanging from the wires after it snapped a hunk off the block and a bolt hit the floor. Ugly.

Spicer, could you speak engrish, I understood the last part but the first has me scratching my head.

Thank you Doug I thought I was seeing things.
I think he means Ether

maybe he was breathing a touch of it himself :)
Makes sense now.
Joe, I'd lean towards rebuilding it also. Chances are that a new on would fit fine, but I remember the days where everything needed shimmed and you know the orginal fit nice.

Ether. Yes. I had to use some on the CAT this weekend. The two main batteries were low and I strapped two more the the running board and jumped them across. I drove it up through a field and plowed through a snowpile about 6' high! ...um, then slid sideways and had to work really ahrd to get it out of where it ended up. I HATE NDT's!!!

hey guys, hello
You running duals in the back on that one???? They sure do make a 13,000lb truck seem light in the rear. Have NOT had mine stuck yet, but the rear does tend to slide around when in the wet stuff.
-
And to get back to topic....
what does ether have to do w/the starter??? I'm cornfused.

I don't need either...If the starter would crank it will start just fine. The problem is I turn the key and click nada...Did some diaging this afternoon in 28 deg weather...at least the sun was out, and I'm about 95% sure the starter went belly up. After I crawled under it though it is going to be a real B to get it out. Problem is I can't see the top of it to take the wires off and the diff is directly under the starter....If I wasn't so stubborn and cheep I'd take it to the local shop and say call me when it's done...:)
