I've watched 3 videos so far on this. I will be doing it today. I'm at 10:20 so far. And I feel I want to thank you for the coverage of getting that top bolt loose. Yours has been the best most thorough actual video from finding it to breaking it loose. Thanks

You're very welcome glad it helped you out

Nice work 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rockawaynaye2539]

Thank you for this video , I did my first starter job by watching this video 100 times 🤣

[@RayFixesAll]

You're welcome I'm glad you got your car fixed

[@pf210]

How is it running? Im about to change my starter.

[@peterizzi2904]

To avoid the shim falling out of alignment when installing The starter that 3rd hole is actually an alignment hole to place a bolt in to hold the shim in proper alignment while starting the 2 mounting bolts

[@RayFixesAll]

Good to know thanks I'll be doing that next time

[@kriszhao80]

Thank you I thought I was going to have to remove the fans like someone did in a different video great camera angles.

[@RayFixesAll]

You're welcome

[@whatever-gg2qs]

Ya totally. That was the second video I watched. Those guys had a bad day. They took half of the front clip apart. I saw that and was thinking this is a video to make a person take it to the shop. There was no way I was about to do all of that shit. Facts

[@davidemley6116]

thank you my van is doing like yours sometimes just clicks going to install a starter

[@RayFixesAll]

On mine, i found the wire that goes from the starter to the coil is worn out so bad it finally fell apart . Last night it failed and left me stranded at harbor freights parking lot after theu were closed. Im down to one car right now. My wifes Town and county is in the shop with a oil exchange issue( bigger than i can do) so i am going to use a screw driver to start my car today in order for me to be able to go get the new starter come back and fix the very same van. Hahaha. Fml. I hope i don't have a problem before i get that done.

[@RayFixesAll]

Just make sure you clean the wires and add the appropriate wire ends and you should be fine

[@mguerramd]

I would put anti seize on those mounting bolts for next time.

[@xdgaming70]

Thanks. I HATE replacing starters.

[@joseph2095]

My new starter has 3 mounting holes also but only 2 of them are actually used. ('05 Town & Country 3.3L).

[@RayFixesAll]

Same

[@user-sv3tq3se9c]

thanks your way was better!

[@Pete391]

Even with jack stands I would put a floor jack under that baby for extra safety.............

[@startover125]

After removing the 13 mm nut from the ground wire, the 15 mm stud nut has been extremely difficult to remove… and of course I didn’t want to put too much pressure on the transmission lines while trying to remove it, I grab my 18 inch, half drive, and remove the transmission control with the 5 mm wire harness bolt to get more clearance … will be working on this in the morning again, just to get the starter out, preferably go straight into the 15 mm stud nut seem to lose a lot of torque with the wobble.. i’ll try to let you guys know how it goes if you have any other info, although I have not tried the pipe on the ratchet yet…

[@JuanHernandezFranco]

Helpfully

[@pf210]

What size extension is that for the top bolt?

[@RayFixesAll]

Not sure I have a lot of extensions sorry

[@godovermoney1124]

The whole time I was holding my breath afraid those jackstands didn't have a good bite on that cross member 😮 I'm sorry but I would have never gotten under that van without some type of additional support in case it fell

[@RayFixesAll]

Just don't buy cheap ones like I know harbor freights jack stands were failing on people the welds

[@mguerramd]

I saw that too, those u shaped saddles barely had contact. But he gave it a good test shake.

[@wrench]

just bought an 07 from a buddy, seems like starter is the problem, i hear a faint clicking and after multiple key cycles it starts, the yellow signal wire also doesnt clip in I wonder if its that wire now after finding out from this vid that its the signal wire

[@RayFixesAll]

It's worth a look use a test light and have someone turn key if it lights up that's your problem
