Will do , gave solenoid more smacks and besides some dings in the housing still nothing. Gonna pull and take it there

 

Good luck bruv

 

How hard is the starter to get to on your truck?
The 3.4 makes it hell

 

2.7 (and his 2.4) aren't that bad, it's easy as all get out if you take the driver tire off and fender line out. But still doable from the underside if you don't want to go that route

I dunno what you’re talking about the 2.4/2.7 starter is hell to remove too haha

 

Looks like the middle is a shitty place to be

 

We've warmed up a little, its only -4 now.

 

Kansas having solar and windmill freeze ups too?

 

Just went outside and checked. Can confirm, I don't know what crack I've been smoking

 

I haven't heard anything. We get enough cold midwest weather that this isn't all that bad.

 

Guess that’s true

 

Texas is having a far rougher time of it - nothing there is really built for this. Anyone with a heat pump is probably on the backup electric resistance heater, which is hell on the grid.

My buddy lives in Austin and his power is out. I asked him what he’s doing this morning

“drinking”

 

Yup! Someone posted earlier that TX is paying 8k per Mwh right now for the storm their dealing with

Yeah its a mess. ERCOT's website has some good data tho.

Locational Marginal Price LMP The market-clearing price for Energy at a given Price Node equivalent to the marginal cost of serving demand at the Price Node while meeting SPP Operating Reserve requirements.

 

Their gonna tell you its bad. No one goes through the trouble of pulling a starter and taking it to the store without being prepared to buy a new one. The counter idiots arent that stupid to miss a sale.

 

I guess I was that stupid as a counter person lol. I never minded taking a jump pack to a starter just to see if the bendix was operati for a guy.. then again that was with lawnmowers and those customers are way more cheapskates than automotive

 

I would just put more layers on instead of paying those prices
