98 2500 diesel starter replaceesther1676 01-05-2006, 11:34 AM My starter is going out. How hard is it to replace, is it easy to get to? moneymaker44 04-19-2006, 09:33 PM yep it is pretty easy to get to but why replace a 200.00 starter when you can repair it my guess it is going click click a few times and starting ! for about 20 bucks on e-bay you can buy a contact kit remove the starter ! remove the triangle plate on the bottom rear of the starter a plunger will pop out ! look inside you will see 2 copper contacts unbolt them install the new ones replace the plunger and cover and reinstall the starter and you should be on the road again funcruise 04-19-2006, 09:49 PM Yes Moneymaker is right on about the starter contacts. Real easy job. I got a set from a shop in town that rebuilds starters and alternaters, I think they were only about five or ten bucks . Do not go to a dealer, they will tell you that is no repair and try to sell you a complete starter.....Hope this helps....good luck with it............... Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2012
