Repaints truck but leaves rusty bumper

 

Whelp .. I've got a shitty day ahead of me, ran to grocery store and heard grinding and popping, thought maybe my power steering pump finally gave up the ghost. Go to turn off the truck and the starter is engaged and was the entire drive I had to remove the positive battery cable to get it to stop lol

I've never seen a starter fail in the always on position

 

What an over achiever that starter motor was

 

Indeed! And dicking around under the hood I noticed my battery has quite the acid leak and buildup so I'll have to buy one of those as well... plus it's raining and I have no garage so this is an expensive and wet service day I didn't really wanna do lol

 

Truck things

 

it lives

 

Every Sunday lol

 

That's the other symptom of a starter needing a rebuild. Either, turning the key and getting a single-click no start, or a starter that continues to engage even after the truck on.

 

First time at the local pump tracks

 

Is this with your new DJ that you built?

We have a pump track at the bike track in Boulder but I’ve never tried one before. Looks super fun.

 

Yeah first time taking it out to a park. Normally just mess around on the streets with it

 

Mine has done this before on my 3RZ, weirdly enough trying to keep starting it frees it most of the time

 

Smack it with a hammer. The solenoid is stuck.

 

trade you the jeep for your rear bumper.

 

Wood

 

Damn. That tent cost more than my truck

 

Whack it with a hammer.
