The green exposed wire on my started got corroded enough that it broke tonihgt, anyways my question is can you replace that wire without replacing the whole starter?

 

When it comes to things like this. My response is "ITS A WIRE"
It should unbolt and you can trace it up and replace it or just leave it and run a new one. Or go up a ways to a good spot and splice in so you only replace the bad spot.
As long as you can get a current between the 2 places its supposed to be touching, your good. I'd use a 10gaugee myself.

That's just how i look at it.

 

it is a good way to look at it, but one end goes inside of the houseing of the starter so I dont know, Ill see what I can do

 

that's weird.
I looked up some pictures. Are you talking about the big wire that runs off the back of the solenoid and into the starter?
If so, are you able to take the back of the starter off? The pic i seen has 2 bolts holding the backside on. I'd take a look in there and see if you can replace it.

 

yeah its that wire it corroded and broke right at the loop that bolts it onto the solenoid, should be enough slack to cut of the corroded part and use the same wire

 

Just get a new starter. I got a new 6.0L starter on ebay for $60.

 

Well Succefully removed the starter and cut off the corroded peice of wire and soldered a new "o" connecter. While I had it in the vise I took the 14mm wrench to the nut holding the corroded off peice of wire onto the stuf and snapped the plastic stator cover so It looks like Im getting a rebuild

I would just buy a new starter off ebay but but it will take to long to get here and Im pretty sure a rebuild is cheaper, starter worked just like new before all of this.

 

well that sucks. Hopefully you can get up n running soon. Now all that money you save from payments gets blown on fixing it.

 

Yeah got the starter rebuilt today while I was at work, 90 bucks aint bad I guess. But shes up and running now. tell me about I havent even begun to mod cause of things needing fixed, but the bank account is very healthy right now so there coming soon
