Starter R/R for 2008 v-6

Turned key other day and cranked slow then "click.click, click"! jumped it off. went by parts store and they checked the batt. and alt. ,, all good! said it may be starter going out? 50,000 miles. anyone ever put one on? I searched the site for anything about 08 starter came up empty?

 

turned key and got slow turnover and the click click click. parts store checked batt,, ok checked gen. ok.. said starters where bad to go bad on these? Any help??

 

not sure about 08 starter--BUT previous year starters--EASY FIX--Contacts get worn out--and are easy to replace. any starter/alt shop will have parts.
As long as you are removing--it an easy check. AND CHEAPER than a replacement.

 

When I got my starter replaced they took off the driver side suspension to get to it.

 

if it was cranking it doesnt sound like the starter????????

 

Slow crank does sound like battery or cables--check the connections--most likely need to be cleaned--do the EASY STUFF first.
Clean batt posts and batt connections. make sure they are tight.
08 should not have starter problems--YET

 

will do ,,,, i'll check everything out first. just wondering if bushing gone bad. it sounded like a sticky starter. hadn't done it again sense? thanks !!!

If it's the original battery I would lean towards the battery even if they tested it. Did they actually test the battery under a load?

 

Yeah, thay load tested the batt. showed all good. its the orig. batt. as the trucks a 2008. It did start right up when we put jumper cables on it. im gonna watch it for a little while see if it does it again? We even turn the head lights on when it wouldnt start and thay where bright.
