Standing outside today, after getting home from waiting for a tow truck. Yup she left me at the side of the road again, in the snow. Anyway standing outside drinking a cold one adn having a smoke I realized something, my love and relationship with my truck is alot like relationships I have had with women. They take all my money and leave me more often then note feeling frustrated and angry confused about what to do. For so lone I tried to figure out why I loved these silly trucks so much, but now I know its just my love of abusive relationships that keeps me coming back for more! Anyone else out there share the same sentament? Anyhow, im pretty sure its something with the starter motor which pisses me off because I just replaced it three weeks ago, it clicks on you can hear it, but the engine jsut won't crank at all and it won't have being jumped. But I still love it its ok. | ||

Paul, I think there are support groups for this kind of thing. "Hi, my name is Paul and I am a roverholic" | ||

Paul, Did you check the wiring into the solenoid? I had a similar problem with my truck and it turned out to be a wire that had vibrated loose from the solenoid. I got a click but no crank. All it took to remedy the problem was a good pinch from a pair of needle nose pliers. Oh, and someday I'll tell you about how I took my maul to the drivers side quarter panel and did a war dance on the bonnet. It's all part and parcel with ownership of these heaps!!!! Cheers, Paul | ||

I got a click with no crank on my 97 sitting at a gas pump once. It turned out to be a poor ground wire connection. | ||

Yeah, I scoped it out when I went to the garage that I work at tonight, it was nothing more then some loose wires on the starter that wriggled there way loose. No matter though I wasn't about to climb under the truck in the snow and cold when I could use a bay at work and a free tow from AAA, she looked tired anyway, like she needed a ride. | ||

Leo, I think Robin Williams said it best: "Ah, yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet." | ||
