    Swamp Donkey Progess

    Here's my thread for pics of slow progress....

    here it is as of now....it had not run until last month when I thought I had everything working well. The alternator wiring caught fire after wheeling and it has not run since b/c I have been to lazy to wokr on it. This weekend I replaced the alternator and all associated wiring, bolted up a set of dynomax longtubes, installed new plugs, wires, and rotor. I am getting a loud noise when i try to crank it coming from the solenoid. I replaced the solenoid, and the same thing is happening. ANy ideas?

    Does it sound pissed off??? Like a very loud clicking???? If so, your battery is almost dead, or your not getting a good connection to the starter. Maybe corrosion.

    Yeah, it sounds bad. There is a very good possibility that there is a bad connection with the starter b/c it has been a bitch to get that screw tight with the headers in the way. But would a bad connection at the starter still cause the noise up at the solenoid? The battery has enough juice for all other accesories, so I do not think it is that, but I will try to jump it. Thanks Doug

    I meant to the solonoid, not the starter. So that sounds like the problem, either bad connection or battery.

    could be that too, failed to mention that. Maybe you could have taken the ground off the back of the block when you put the headers on??????

    I have a f*rd solenoid on my truck, when the battery gets low it makes that pissed off sound. Try jumping it, just b/c it has enough juice to run other ****, doesn't mean it has enough to start it...
