First off, the truck is an '84 2.8v6. It's got a 5-speed from a '96.
Ever since I swapped the trans, the truck has given me a lot of grief with starting. I've had the battery checked and it's good. All power wires and ground wires are new. Just the other day I put a new starter in since the old one just clicked, I replaced the solenoid for good measure too.
Problem is now the solenoid will only click. Even when I bypass it with a screwdriver it clicks. For the first 3 days with the new starter and solenoid everything was fine. I thought I finally got rid of the gremlins.
Any ideas? I can't keep asking for push starts!
