- Get the job done, correctly, the first time. There's beer to be had.
My 98 4.0 m/t (224k miles) has been doing this for a little while.
I hear the starter click, the Bendix is engaging, but the starter motor is not spinning the engine. I can get the truck to run if i push start it (the wonderful thing about having a manual transmission) and it runs fine.
I bought a replacement starter (a remanufactured one). I just finished installing it and I'm getting the same result. So it's either I bought a bad starter or there's something else going on. Has anyone dealt with this?
Thanks.
