Great video. Not sure why anyone would put a thumbs down when you are trying to educate people to save some money. Thanks

Hey what about screeching noise when turning the key. I have to hold it for 5 seconds before it cranks in which I don't want to do. The other way i like to do is to turn the key back off and try again until it cranks. Don't know if i have a grounding issue

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Thanks for reaching out. Doesn’t sound like a good thing. Maybe a gear is coming loose,flywheel , starter,fuel pump. Something along those lines.

[@antnun3138]

I replaced my starter on my m2 cause my old starter was wasnt cranking. Just one “click or clank” sound. Replaced starter solenoid, battery & fuses. Still have the same issue. What the hell could the problem be ?

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Hey thanks i have 2016 freightliner cascadia cummins isx15 I think thy dd15 isx15 is different with start wires my truck will not start i put 4 new battery and start still will not start i think haven't put wires correct i put top bolts 3 wires the bottom bolt aslo 3 wire and solenoid small wire aslo one time cranks very after that nothing please help me how many goes each start bolt top and bottom one iits isx15 cummins not dd15

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Best practice is to tie up the wiring to each other with zip tie so you know where everything goes. Or worst case take pic before removal. Being a 16 everything should be color coded red or black so black on bottom will be your best bet.

Hello, when i turn the switch on its starts to grind. Could that be the starter? My truck doesn’t turn on any more.

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Most likely it is the start making that noise. The pinon gear inside it ow probably going out.

[@marioarroyo9316]

@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228 replaced the whole starter and it fired up! The top bolt was a nightmare to take off. And thanks for replying !

[@kalehallman]

My truck starts fine, but there is a noticeable click when I start the engine. Could that be just the solenoid switch, or is that the starter. Or neither

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Great question. For the most part when you hear a bunch of clicks when the starter engauges it is a sign that your starter is starting to go out.

Hey boss my truck just keeps clicking I change the starter in December it’s rapid click had someone come and said it’s the battery witch I change in October got new battery still the issue is it difficult to change all the battery cables?

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Thanks for reaching out. It’s a good chance your batteries could still be having issues or just a faulty starter. Once tested if both of those pass than I’d look at the cables at batteries and to starter and alternator. Sometimes they’ll be built up with corrosion and have high resistance that would cause that issue. But just the battery cables ,not hard at all and you would be able to change out pretty quickly. But definitely get the system tested with someone you trust first.

@@cristoperodriguezgil8075 best possible thing to do is have the system checked. No need to try one part after another cuz that just means more $$ out of your pocket. Without testing the entire system we will just be guessing and I’d hate to make you replace components that are still good.

My truck freightliner cascadia 2016 automatic.. The truck won't start no crank sound just giving the click normal sound when I try to fireup no check engine light showing and by the way I'm sure my truck has power but still no start . I was doing just too make sure using the battery cable to make sure charging up the truck battery for some time than try again but the truck still no start and no crank sound. not sure what's going on .

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Thanks for reaching out man. Appreciate you watching my videos. When your truck makes the click sound of the relays it’s saying everything inside the cab has power. Next step is to have someone key on while your at the starter and see if the top mag switch solenoid is clicking. If so it could be sticking. If not clicking I would want to check power and see if there’s 12v at the signal wire on top of the mag solenoid. If so I would smack the starter with a hammer from the bottom and that should break it free while someone is cranking the eng. that will start the truck and get you somewhere safe to get the starter replaced. Hope that helps give some insight into troubleshooting.

[@jorgefacio690]

my truck just started Givin me a long crank before it turns on but I just replaced my starter a few months ago. what else can I check?

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Great question man and thanks for watching. Long cranks are usually contributed to high resistance. So if your familiar with a multimeter than I’d check ur starter cables and all your battery cables. Often times. Corrosion eats away the cable and a power loss can happen which causes high resistance and longer cranks. Hope that helps.

Ideally you would want to disconnect batteries completely but if you choose not to than just taking off positive would be next best option.
