- Here is how to replace the starter motor on a Chevrolet truck with a 5.7 L 350 V8 engine. Replacing the starter on a Chevrolet truck is an easy job, as it is only held in place with 2 Bolts, and they are very easy to get to. In this video you can watch me show you how to replace a starter on your Chevrolet truck. I chose to buy a new starter instead of a rebuilt starter, because I think it will be better quality and will last longer. I hope this video helps you learn how to replace the starter on your truck. The truck in the video is a 1995 Chevrolet Silverado.
Here is where to get a repair manual for this Chevy truck.

Holy crap you just saved me a ton of time and headache with your screenshot about the bolt length. I have a 93 and am self-taught via youtube from knowing nothing about cars 1 year ago. It would have taken me forever to figure out that this was my problem, because it was not mentioned in my instructions and I just thought I wasn't lining the holes up correctly. None of the other videos I watched mentioned it either. Thank you! I just subscribed :)
You’re welcome
Short sweet and to the point thanks for the vid man didnt wanna have to sit through all the 30 min long ones
You’re welcome. I try to keep things as short as possible while still including all the details.
Just skip to the good part?
15mm you will thank me later
You are a life saver. This is what I was wondering the whole time lol
Thank you, very much for the great idea about taking the battery cable clamps off. You saved me alot of grief. It made the job, so much easier.
You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help.
Short sweet too the point is all we diy peeps are after. Thank you for keeping that in mind.
Glad to help
3:10 is the sound we all make, either out loud or just in our heads, when you first hear the engine turn over on a new starter for the first time.
In your heads? I shout it out loud.😂
Finally - easy straight to the point . Good video
Thanks
I now have a 1989 Chevy Silverado K3500 and am looking for videos on how to help fix it up by my self. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help.
This video is still helping people like me to this day thanks a ton bud
You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help.
That sensor is a knock sensor water temp is on the head on the other side and oil press is in the rear! Good video!
Thanks.
NICE VIDEO. I LEARNED A FEW GOOD THINGS
Great. I’m glad I could help.
Thanks for the video! Saved me loads of money on labor costs
You're welcome!
Good video. Something very important that you need to correct. At the very least you should note on the first line of your description. Disconnect the negative battery terminal first. Why? Because if you have your wrench on the positive terminal and you touch the other end of it to any other metal component you will get a huge spark and will damage your tool and possibly your battery. By disconnecting the negative first, you don't have this potential problem. You don't even need to disconnect the positive terminal if the negative is disconnected. DG
Thank you bro for your info you the man!!!!......😀
You’re welcome
Thanks bud just spent all night dealing with crank sensor causing kick back which broke starter bolt. So after drilling and rethread I forgot which wire went where lol tired or stupid maybe both🤣😎 APPRECIATE the info
You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help.
Didn't even think about taking the cable off, thanks alot man
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
What is that cable? I think mine broke off.
Niiiice! Great easy to follow vid. Good job and thanks.
You’re welcome
And when hooking battery back together positive first negative 2nd so you don’t spark on frame copy for anyone repl battery
I've been out here struggling for an hour trying to get The new one up in there just to get the small wire on it do you have any suggestions outside of just saying it slides in easy cuz that's what I was looking for when I was looking for this video
Hell ya thanks man much appreciated
I haven't had to change a starter in so long.... decades. The last one was on my GF's 77 eldorado. That thing must have weighed 50 LBS. what a nightmare. I have been very lucky with starters since then. I think they just don't go bad like they used to .
+ACoustaDC this one is pretty much the same technology as that. I was just glad I didn't have to move any heat shields or exhaust parts to get to it. So it's a really easy job.
Well done video, but having trouble getting new one to fully integrate into the opening for the gears to line up. Tried moving starters little gear a tad but didn't help. Also broke the small wire end iff. Gonna try again this morning now that I won't be laying in a cold wet driveway where the rain was running downhill. Ugh
Good luck. I hope it worked. Mine just popped right in. I wonder if they sold you the right one for your engine.
@@hoohoohoblin they did. Larger wires end broke off the next day. Fixed them both but guess what? Engine seized up. Had it towed away Monday. Mechanic gave me the bad news. Had it 24 years and 325K miles. Guess it was time. But damn.
Never heard u mention what kinda tools u use
Wouldn't mind know what sizes you need to take it out and un hook it
Maybe that unused post on the starter is the safety for the manual transmission ones? So you can't start it in gear?
Thank you!
You're welcome
Your video is pretty good, would be better if you said what size sockets or wrenches to use.
Thanks. I should’ve done that, because at that point in America, you never knew if you had to use metric sockets or American sockets. Back when I drove a barracuda, it was easy because everything was American. In the 80s and 90s everything got mixed up.
you're video would be perfect if you came over and changed my starter for me. Anyways thanks for showing how to change it, now I know what I'm getting into thanks to you sharing your knowledge.
Never heard I mention what kinda tools to use!
That sensor you unplugged is the knock sensor
Good vid, gonna get my girl up and running again :D
Thanks. This is an easy job.
I have a 4.3 in mine is it the same
I replaced the starter on my 2007 tahoe and now it makes a buzzing sound right before it starts, what could be the problem?
I changed the starter on my 95 suburban I did the same thing you did in your video. Only problem I have is when I turn on the truck it makes a grinding noise like if the truck was a diesel and it's not a diseal truck. The noise stops after the truck is running. The sound is only when I turn the key and the truck turns on.
I wonder if the starter gear isn’t disengaging when the engine starts. Maybe they sold you a faulty starter.
shim the starter
How long did this take you to do? I think I can get it done quickly but not too sure
You can do it in 15 minutes if you have all the tools. An hour is probably more reasonable for the first time.
thanks for mentioning what size bolts and nuts are up there
You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help.
@@hoohoohoblin might have told him if he asked instead of being a smart ass
Ya what sizes??
I normally just let the starter fall and slap me in the face.
This....
i know I am pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Landen Emilio I would suggest flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Finn Javier yea, have been using FlixZone for since march myself :)
@Finn Javier Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it !!
The connector you removed is for the knock sensor
Do you know what torque is required?
No shims? ya should pull the little cog in the starter out to measure it to the fly wheel ya may need a shim or two. I know i needed 2 on my new starter in my 78 chevy silverado.
hoohoohoblin What was your old starter doing? The one in my 95 Z71 is turning slow and dragging and I tested the volts in the cables everything was good so I went and bought a brand new starter like you did lol not a reman
Great videos btw! I subscribe to your channel
It sometimes started fine and other times it did nothing. If i went under the truck and hit it with a hammer, it would work again.
Gotcha. I just now got done changing my starter a few minutes ago and that was my problem, it was throwing me off a little with it clicking and then it'll start turning over slow like a bad battery lol but I'm glad it's fixed and I didn't have to track wires down haha...hate wiring. Thanks buddy
How hard is it to find electrical short in the wiring and straining the battery
Electrical problems can be really tricky to find. I’ve seen a few vehicles were the door locks circuit slowly drains the battery. That happened on an old GMC van I used to have.
The sensor you unplugged is what's called the knock sensor
Is that starter same with Chevy c10 1963 4.1 straight 6?if it's not the same what is the part number for the Chevy c10 4.1? thanks
I doubt it. That’s a lot older. I’m not sure how much similarity there would be.
Small wire in the block is a knock sensor
Thanks
Where did you buy the new one from i cant find one that doesnt have shims TIA
I bought it from Pep Boys.
@@hoohoohoblin Thank you
How to replace 2007 uplander starter
Any tips if the bolts are round
Maybe vice grips if you can fit them in there.
Did yo have a spacer above your starter?
I don’t remember. I don’t think so though.
Vehicle batteries have low current not enough to shock you. .... now if you want to put your hand in a breaker box that's a whole different story
That other wire is for your knock sensor
Thanks
@@hoohoohoblin not a problem, I just bought a 1997 and I was not getting any power to the truck, I was digging for any hint on what was going on,my truck has two batteries. I found out one is for the starter only and the other battery runs everything else and they're both isolated. Weird set up
How did you diagnose a bad starter before you decided to replace it?
I had the guy from the auto club come out and test it. You need to check and make sure it has power, and that the battery is fully charged, or at least charged enough to spend it, and if it still doesn’t spin, then there is something wrong with it.
Filmed with an iPhone?
Yes.
hoohoohoblin The iPhone films in a way that is actually impossible. Because it uses two cameras at a time objects near and far are all in focus. I marvel at it every time. By the way, that is the knock sensor wire you unplugged.
Yours is so easy because you don’t have the heat shield attached to your starter
Ground wire.
I did all this and got scraping noises
Knock sensor
What's the starter model number
I don’t know. You’d have to Look it up based on the year of truck and engine type.
Lot of work
No ground
bee gentile
Thank you for the info. But that is not a truck! It 8s a pickup! Everyone th8nks they can just call anything what they want.
U could have at least told us the size socket the bolts are. Duh!!!!
The real question is. Are you going to make a new better mukbang
+christian gomez Ha ha! I don't know.
why not tell us what size wrench your using ... better videos out there
