Well, talk about an interesting few days. I FINALLY figured out my starter problem. I bought the wrong flywheel/clutch setup, too small.
It was for a 10.5" clutch (muscle car applications, why cant Mopar friggin tell me it wont work in a truck?
), and the factory Hemi one is 11.375.
$420 later from the dealer, I have new flywheel/disc/pressure plate. Took part of yesterday to pull it out, part of today to put it together. Kind of nightmarish. I managed to get the tranny back 5" and snuck everything out, and snuck it back in. Got a few battle scars from that, lol.
Anyways, on to the rest of the day today. I got the starter installed, fit perfect, the one I had!
So then I was like, "Hey, all I need is an oil filter, and I can maybe start it!"
Fast forward a few hours later, I turn the key. Click is all the starter goes, just for a split second. I've heard of this problem before, I need to research it a bit more, I know there is a solution. So I said the heck with it, and jumped it with a screwdriver across the starter. And the Hemi roared to life. For about 10 seconds, then I shut it down. No radiator, dont want to burn things up.
So, my truck kinda officially works. Just a gas seep that I found, but it really actually worked. I might be able to pull this truck thing off.
