Re: ""WANTED"" Info, Input,,,Your 2cents 99 Ram Cummins "No Go"

It sounds to me like its the contacts in your selonid. You dont need a new starter, just the two copper contacts. Now the dealer doesnt sell them. They will try to sell you a whole new starter. I got a set from a little shop in town that sells batteries and rebuilds alternators and starters. To replace them you take the starter off then you will see two bolts at the end of the selonid. Take the end off and there is the contacts. There is a plunger in there too that might need to be cleaned up too and a spring on it, so be careful not to loose the spring. Put it all together and its good for another 100,000 miles with no trouble....Dodge Cummins Ram truck

SuperSize Starter Solenoid Contacts
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

Part#R90SS $34.95 Solenoid rebuild kit, contains 2 SuperSize contacts and 1 plunger for Cummins. Printed instructions included with this kit
Super Size Starter contacts have approximately 90% more contact area than stock. Designed to carry twice the voltage load for easier starting and last years longer. Our Super Contacts Fit perfectly and are for replacement of sticking and clicking stock starter contacts in 1989 to 2003 Cummins powered Dodge Ram trucks. (for V10 engine click here) Is your starter clicking a few times and won't crank? Or worse yet, sticking on? It's very likely worn solenoid contacts. These trucks use a very well built gear reduction starter. Your starter contains two contacts that are usually the only parts in these starters that cause any problems. Usually only one contact gets badly burned but we recommend replacing both contacts and the plunger while you're in there. Printed INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS are also included with all contacts. More info? CLICK here!!!! Here is an exploded view of the solenoid and parts.
