A replacement of the Starter motor requires users to begin by disconnecting the negative
Battery Cable for 4.8l, 5.3l, 6.0l, and 6.2l engines. Support the vehicle raised position while 2500 series vehicles need you to remove their front 2 oil pan skid plate bolts together with loosening of the rear 2 bolts before skid plate extraction. Begin by removing the transmission cover bolt as well as the Starter bolts before disconnecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the oil level sensor. Maintain awareness of not hanging the Starter using cables or wires during this process. Set the Starter forward past the transmission then implement a proper support method. Drop the vehicle halfway to access the right front wheel and tire followed by removing the right front wheelhouse liner. Start by removing the lead nut and terminal of the Starter's engine wiring harness before removing the frame-mounted Starter solenoid clip bolt and nut to free the Starter solenoid cable . Start by extracting the Starter through the wheel well opening; when installing a new Starter, separate and take off the Starter heat shield. To install the new Starter observe the following process: start by adding the heat shield to the Starter, then attach the transmission cover onto the Starter base. Pass the Starter through the wheel well opening before connecting the Starter solenoid cable to the Starter. South to 9 nm (80 lb in) tightness is required for the solenoid cable nut. Position the Starter solenoid cable clip to the frame then bolt it tightly at 10 nm (89 lb in). Fasten the Starter's engine wiring harness lead terminal with a lead nut tightened to 3.4 nm (30 lb in). Each Starter bolt requires tightening to achieve 50 nm (37 lb ft). Install the right front wheel and tire after placing back the wheelhouse liner. Allow the vehicle to rest on stands while you join the engine harness electrical connector to the oil level sensor before installing and firmly tightening the transmission cover bolt to 9 nm (80 lb in). Owners should install the oil pan skid plate to 2500 series vehicles by tightening each bolt to 28 nm (21 lb ft); the two front bolts and two rear bolts. To complete the repair work lower the vehicle before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.
