Test & Inspect Your Starter

As we mentioned earlier, resistance is a big deal in an electrical circuit. Bad or green cables which cannot be seen from the outside can cause big problems between the starter, alternator, batteries, etc. The cables must be checked with a load test or check the voltage drop per cable. It should not have over a .5v drop per cable.

Signs You Need To Replace Your Starter

The starter is responsible for starting the engine. It does this when the battery sends volts of electricity to the starter. The starter then uses this energy to turn the engine over. Thus, starting it.

Like batteries and alternators, failing starters have signs, you just have to be on the lookout. There may be a clicking sound when you turn your key switched. Others can be a spin with a no crank scenario. Others can be a slow start before your engine turns over. However, a low voltage is the main culprit of running a starter. If a batteries voltage gets low, most tend to jump or crank, but will eventually start your engine. It might just take a little time to start your engine. If you notice this jumping or cranking, don’t wait! The more times you do so, the more damage you can cause—and not just to the starter.

You might be asking yourself if it’s eventually turning over, can’t it wait to be replaced? We don’t recommend waiting because it can cause more problems, costing you time and money. When cranking your starter with low voltage, the discs in the starter’s solenoid can actually burn or even arc together. Eventually, the solenoid will fail/weld completely together. If this happens, the starter will continue to crank, even after you let off the key switch. We recommend replacing them before that cold winter morning, and you can’t get your vehicle started.

SEMI TRUCK PULL STARTS SERVICES

Bad starter? Have a manual transmission? No problem. If your semi-truck won’t jump off due to a bad starter call Find Trucks Services Towing for a pull start. Pull starting, also known as bump starting, clutch starting, popping the clutch or crash starting is a method of starting a truck by engaging the manual transmission while the vehicle is in motion.

The most common way to push start a truck is to uncouple any trailer, run air to the system to release the brakes, put the manual transmission in low gear, turn on the ignition, depress the clutch, and pull the vehicle until it is at a speed of 5 to 10 mph, then quickly release the clutch to make the engine rotate and fire, then quickly depress the clutch so the truck does not stall.
