[@donaldwhitted4214]

Great job just change out my starter 60 series detroit your right top right bolt inside right was very very hard to get to But finally got the bolt out thanks for starter video🔧👍

[@bryanritts213]

I've always taken the solenoid on the very top of the starter off. My original starter never n had it and besides there's one on the firewall

[@karampuk1974]

That's kinda what I thought

[@bryanritts213]

@@karampuk1974 I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing or not but I kept it off and haven't had any problems.

[@robertcordero2134]

Thanks for the motivation. I think I can do it. I think mine needs to be replaced soon. Sometimes I have to try a couple of times to make it start. Can’t really describe the sounds it make at times before it starts but it doesn’t sound good.

The music has me in utter suspense!

Delco Remy is the best for Detroit series 60. in my 92 Pet last more than 12years. I voluntary replaced because can sleep thinking about starter, sometimes I have nightmare starting the truck lol

I don’t have that sensor connection, I have the same old Starter you removed. I have a 2006 Century. What do you recommend for the new Starter as to figuring out the wire plug situation

[@MoesGetnFitToday]

Do I need a 1/2” impact to crack the bolts? My small 1/4” can’t get to it

10:16 any idea if this starter will work on an 11.1 series 60? The only difference is the crank and rods from what I understand. My truck is a 1994 freightliner. Got a good source for the starter? Thanks

As far as I know, everything is the same on that engine except the crankshaft, rods, and pistons. It's the toughest one and the rod bearing width was designed for the 11.1. I believe the 14 liter has the same rod bearing width and rod thickness, so a 14 liter can definitely blow up at 600hp over an 11.1. Starter motor likely works with all 3 versions, call shop ask for measurements eye to eye in the mount holes, compare to 12.7. Or see if the same starter motor comes up for both vins. Find 2 vins on Google for sale, one with 11.1 and 12.7, call freightliner give both vins and say starter motor.

Really wish you would have taken more time looking over the wiring before and after.

[@nattydreadlocks1973]

I hope you put antisieze on them bolts. If not, when that starter goes bad. 😂😂😂

[@EricWrenchMotors]

If someone doesn't use antiseize, you pull out a torch and heat the clutch bell housing up. Antiseize mixed with grease is less likely to be washed out by water. For the Tierods and rear shock bolts

Always ask more for the rate
