Now, here is how I replaced my S10 starter in a few hours. Overall, I would do it again. You do NOT have to remove the exhaust to get the starter out, nor is it too difficult (assuming no rusted bolts). I would have had to spend over $400-500 to get this replaced, also waiting a week for the shop to take the truck. I spent about $120 on the starter, plus $50 on tools I did not have.
I would recommend having a set of offset box end wrenches and a pass through ratchet to make things easy.
Thanks for watching!

BEST VIDEO!!! I watched a half a dozen other videos for replacing this starter. This video is absolutely the best one I've seen. Thank you so much for the clarity!
TIP: Try using 1/4 drive tools when doing this job. 3/8 is much too bulky. 1/4 is a game changer in tight spaces👍🏻
very helpful, just stole an s10 and after 2 weeks the starter stopped working... this was very insightful, thank you
Stole?
Ayo?
@@valerieshick9240 yea its rough out here
Yes, things are very rough out here but we don't steel. How do you think the person feels that worked very hard to buy it?! Then someone like you came around and stole it. You're going to have bad Karma and Karma is going to TAX you!! Steeling isn't cool and is childish... besides ILLEGAL!
No I didn't replace the starter. I figured it couldn't be the starter if it starts but dies when I release the handbrake. I even bought one and returned it already. I just had my S10 towed to a shop to have a diagnostic. Unfortunately going to spend a lot of money on something that's probably cheap and easy to fix. I'll let you all know what they find.
Is easier if you drop the starter first then while hanging remove the power cable
Thanks I figured that but was wondering
Music is obnoxious and unnecessary. Great video. Can you put a link to the new starter and offset wrenches?
Boy anything on this truck is a F'in Project. but when i work on newer shit i feel like a pro lol. good truck to learn on for sure.
I thought the newer vehicles would be harder, but then again the newest thing I have is 2008!Definitely good to learn on and although not fun, it’s rewarding once finished. Thanks for the view!
Why u don’t show the second screw 😂 because is difficult any mechanic show the second screw 😂
I have the same truck. It is difficult to work on. Access is a challenge.
Hi... my problem is that it MIGHT start but as soon I pull the parking brake lever, engine dies. After that... all day, it won't start at all anymore. The dash lights light up, interior light lights up, had battery tested, it's good but engine won't crank at all. Nothing.
Did you find the problem?

Hi,
No not yet. I think it's the fuel pump but haven't replaced that yet.
Idk how I am going to do there's no room for me to work
Who tf slides under the car like that🤣
😂😂
Right 😂😂😂😂, never seen that before
he's comfortable and trusting of those jack stands for sure. I'm guessing he does it that way because he's righthanded to get more power on the wrench.
@@BigAlWillisExactly, the other way would be difficult for the torque needed for some bolts. For other jobs, I slide the standard way. And yes, I do trust those jack stands, but only with the jack as backup.
@@joeyBOOSTED they have a new style jackstand that locks onto your hydraulic Jack & its quick locking. Once your Jack is up you place it in the front of the Jack it locks from the wheels to the plate. Its pretty neat. Lookup Jack rod
Mine keeps cranking even if my keys off as well now I know I'm not crazy replacing it
Yup, mine did it so much I thought it was ignition related at first. Still good now months later!
