Starter replacement how do i take off the starter on my 1999 dodge diesel 2500? in detail please axplain how many bolts and connections there are....thanks

Check for at least 12 volts at the starter. If the voltage is good, suspect a defective or "dragging" starter motor.

Check this firing order for each engine...

Hope this helps (rememnber to rating this free answer).

there is an ABS sensor on top of the rear axle, and they are known to cause these symptoms-check the wiring, connector, and replace it if necessary, they are about $30 and is held in place with one bolt.

do you have a TST on your truck? if so this is a common problem, your crank sensor is behind the starter(must pull) with a 10mm 12 point wrench, top bolt, not so fun.. and one bolt for sensor.. keep checking online. seams this is a common problem(i have 3 diesels) with TST,

We just had the same problem with our 99 2500 Turbo Diesel Ram. The problem ended up being the factory trailer cord recepticle near the hitch. When we unplugged the harness from the back side of the recepticle we found that the brake terminals had gotten hot and burned out. We replaced the recepticle (about $30 from Dodge) and our problem was solved.

The bolts on my son's 1994 are 10 mm. You need a 12 point socket to fit them.

Could be the solenoid on the starter. Next time it doesn't start, hit the starter with a hammer or other hard object, then try to start it. If it starts, replace the starter before it leaves you stranded

Straight forward job. Remove wheels, remove 2 caliper bolts per wheel, check bolts,and bushings for wear/corrosion and lubricate, remove calipers, remove brake pads, push caliper pistons into calipers, replace anti-rattle clips, put new pads in, put caliper and bolts in, put wheels on. Start truck and press brake pedal several times to take up slack and you're done.

try turning the key on and off a couple of times to prime the fuel pump after that see if it cranks (dont use starter fluid)

there is a cruise control module , easiest way to find it is follow 2nd throttle cable under hood right to it. it most cases there unplugged
