Putting in a starter

So i was letting my buddy borrow my truck, all of a sudden i get a call saying, "yeah, your truck won't start". So i book it over there and see what the problem was, (this is in a McDonalds parking lot). I crawled under the passanger side with a hammer and began pounding on the starter untill it started. Moral of the story is, i needed a new starter.

 
Tools you need:
  • 16, 14, 8 and 9 millimeter sockets w/ wrench
Parts You Need:
  • Basically you can take a starter off any small block chevy motor that is PRE-Vortech
Disassembly:
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable
  • 
    To the left of his hand is what you're looking for
  • Crawl under the passenger side and take the 2 bolts off holding the starter up
  • Then Disconnect the possitive battery cable from the starter and the controll wire
  • Set it off to the side
Re-assembly:
  • MAKE SURE the terminals are clean on the new starter
  • Put the wires back on their corresponding terminals
  • Tighten the nuts down
  • Put the starter back in position and slide the bolts in
  • Tighten them down
  • Plug your battery back in
  • Be on your merry way =)
