Thanks. You saved me a ton of money and time. I got One Click and that was it. I took my starter out and cleaned the connections as you suggested. Worked great!

Thank you so much for this! I just replaced my starter on my 18 LTZ and watched this about 10 times. The only issue I had was my red clip broke, but not too worried about it. Thanks again for the detailed video. I couldn’t have done it without this. 👍🏼

Just went through this with my 2017 Sierra. Thought it was the starter. Cleaned the terminals like he said. Put it back on and it started right up. Saved $550. Thanks for the video!

Excellent video. Thank you for the video. It was so helpful, and thank you again for your advice on cleaning the terminals.

Thank you this was so helpful. Had the job done in about 25min. Thanks again

Excellent video thanks for sharing. I'll be changing mine out this weekend.

Very helpful buddy. I appreciate you taking the time to film this!

good to see you again love the video.

Brings back not so good memories of wrenching in the winter back in the 80’s. Don’t miss the frozen fingers either. 😊

Thanks for posting this video. It saved me a lot of time and pucking around on a snowy 20-degree day in my driveway in western NY. Happy New Year to you.

This video is great luckily I haven’t bought a new starter yet, I have the very same issue. I’m gunna now take mine out, hopefully clean that connection and try again because a new starter where I am is 450$ Canadian 👍🏼

You saved me $400. Much appreciated!

Thanks for a great video👍🏽💯... I hope to see a video of u cleaning that connection on the old starter and installing to see if it really will work💯🤙🏽

Thank you. This was very helpful and informative without dragging! I will look forward to more posts like this from you! I have a 2017 Silverado 1500.

Thank you very much and explaining on cleaining the connection to get rid of the corrosion.

We’re so different. I would have been cursing up a storm when that bolt fell on the new starter. 😂 8:20

Good job, Good job!

Great video

Thank you!! Seems to be a common problem with these trucks.

I just did this in my driveway on ramps. Be very very careful removing the starter wire as there is a red clip that will break under little to no resistance. I would recommend doing it this way, yanking the tire and fender well because it is right going up from underneath. I was lucky enough to not break the clip on mine. I used a small flat head and went very slowly getting it off. This is a great tutorial but if you don’t have a car lift, you can do it from under the truck!

YOU MAKE IT LOOK EASY

2017 Silverado custom, multiple occasions had a no start issue where it would do nothing but click the starter once and everything would die. Battery is 9 months old so I jiggled the wires at both ends, battery fuse and starter and the thing started right up. Looks like I have some cleaning to do.

We’re so different. I would have been cursing up a storm when that bolt fell on the new starter. 😂

Sooooooo what happens if you break the connector to the starter because the plastic is so brittle 😢

If i did break the plug with the screewer😢?

Could the bad connection be cleaned up with the starter installed or does it need to be removed

I had to change mine on a 2018 but i just went from under the truck it was easy.

Would this process work for '18 Suburban as well?

Question. I have a 2015 gmc 2500. Doesn't start so went to starter and see a wire is off. End looks like a female butt connector. Can't find a male connector. Is there one I'm missing.

How you doing bro , I hope you see this and comment back soon , but I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 lt 5.3 engine 2 wheel drive . Long story short bro , I think there’s electrical problems . Stability track would come on , the truck flickers off and on . And now it just won’t start . We have a new battery in the truck , we thought it was the starter but we think it has something to do with electrical . What and how can I go about this bro ? I don’t wanna buy a new starter and install it just for the truck still not start up .

I am having the "1 click" issue, but my truck still starts if I have a higher voltage (i.e getting a jumper from another running vehicle). Would it stand to reason that the higher voltage is overcoming some sort of corrosion issue in the starter? The issue is progressively getting worse. It used to start after driving for a bit after a couple hours of being off but now it wont last 5 minutes.

Helpful tip to not break the red tab. Don’t pull down on the tab. Instead, use a 90 degree pick to push down on the body of the tab that’s inside the connector.

Has anyone had the starter go in the open/start position and drain the battery?

How does it come out so easy.. i have the 4.3 and i can't get it out

There is no way in hell I can get the starter out from the bottom. I have zero room. I just fought with it for two hours and still haven't gotten it

MAKE SURE YOU’VE RULED OUT THE BATTERY AS THE PROBLEM 😊

How do I know my starter is bad? Literally I parked my truck after trip than next day wanted to go to store it had power but did not even try to turn over..I put new battery sane crap. I remember back in the day starter made noise I hit it with hummer and it started..this 2017 1500 silverado just acts as there is no battery bc there is no noise
