The weird thing is sometimes it wont even turn over at all. I have to take key out(seems to work) to get the thing to even try to crank. What's up ??   DChrismon Posted on Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 09:00 pm:    You need someone to do an volt test on your electrical system. Just go to a local mechanic or a Pep Boys or something.   Dave B. Posted on Friday, August 16, 2002 - 03:25 pm:    What year is your truck?? On the DII's there was apparently a problem with incorrect torque spec on the lead to the starter. They put out a bulletin to the dealers to loosen it up and retorque it to (I believe) 18 Nm. (it was 11Nm, I think). Give that a try, if you can get to it, theres a heat shield in the way that makes it a tougher tob than it should be.
