    no crank/ no start

    that one time that i did get a start, it cranked normally, and just before it kicked over, the starter began to turn very slowly and then it kicked, no lights on the dash dim when attempting to crank and the fog lights do not dim when attempting to crank.

    no crank/ no start

    i am at a loss, i would rather not take the starter out again as they are a PIA to get out. and i would also rather not have it towed back up to my local friendly garage and have another 150 dollar towing bill, any suggestions or ideas? or just get it towed?

    altenator?

    They said it was a bad ground at the battery, this was caused by something I never could of seen, it was the corrosion under the wire insulation that I never could of seen and therefore did not suspect.

    Done search! Front Diff Fluid Change-'04!

    i don't think there would be a better way, just loosen all the bolts up and pry it off and then replace the gasket

    altenator?

    ok, still tracking something down, replaced the altenator with a 60 dollar JY one thats been tested for amperage, still no start, but once it starts, it runs GREAT, only problem is, cant get it to start. any ideas on how to get this beast cranked?

    altenator?

    the only thing that i could think of is that the altenator is putting out the right voltage but not the right amperage, and i do not have a ammeter that can measure up to 140 amps, i do know that the spec is that below 59 amps it is a bad altenator
