How to Effectively Service and Repair a Starter Motor on 2003 Dodge Ram 3500?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step in servicing and fixing the starter motor is to remove and isolate both the negative cables from the batteries and next support the vehicle by raising it off the ground. Detach the three mounting bolts, but be sure to hold the starter as you move it to the front, making sure the nose of the starter pinion fits under the housing. Tilt the nose down until you can grab the side of the car to remove the nuts from the starter wiring harness. Unmount the starter, remembering that diesel engines often require you to notice both the position and orientation of any aluminum spacer placed between the starter and the starter mounting bracket. In case you have an aluminum spacer, place and fix it to the rear of the starter while you get the engine in position. Screw the starter motor onto the solenoid wire until the nut reaches 6 Nm (55 in. lbs.). Put the battery cable onto the starter stud and then secure and tighten it with a nut to 14 Nm (120 in. lbs.). Put the starter motor near the transmission and if you have an automatic transmission, attach the cooler tube bracket in its correct spot. Slowly tighten the three starter mounting bolts to 43 Nm (32 ft. lbs.), lower the car to the ground and attach both of the negative battery cables to the batteries.
