Truck won't start...need some help on how to replace it or any quick sugguestions to get her up and runnin would be much appreciated. Thanks, Alana
Could be your starter, battery or fuel sys. Most common are starter and / or battery. Regarding the battery, make sure your terminals are clean and the battery is securely fastened to them. If you turn the key and absolutely nothing happens then check your battery connections as stated above. If they look good but the battery is old (3-5 years), and still no start - replace battery.
If the starter is the issue, you will hear a distinct, slightly disconcerting sound coming from underneath passenger side area of the engine compartment. This is the sound of the starter trying to engage the engine - but without success. You can take it to any shop and have it replaced for $200-$500 out the door depending on what brand starter you have installed. PEP boys has them for $107.00 plus a $95/hr install fee (the jobs takes about 1 hour).
If your fuel system is the culprit (make sure you're not out of gas first) it is most likely a faulty fuel pump (common) or clogged fuel filter.
