I am looking for a used starter for my 1996 GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6.5 Liter turbo diesel engine and 4L80E trans. It will be a month before i can afford a new starter, and I cannot afford to have my truck sit around that long. PM me if you have one. Thanks PFF :thumbup:

Ever consider getting it rebuilt? B & M starter and alternator on palafox is quite affordable.

I was just about to start a thread on that. I will check with them tomorrow.

I got a rebuilt starter from B&M. Its gone completely haywire. Blowing ign 1 fuse. Wont turn over. Now it runs constantly. About to test their warranty.

I chose B&M because I did not want to be using a lifetime warranty every six months with cheap imported starters. I just hope this is a fluke. Its in the starter solenoid or possibly the wiring. Over the past two months I have quite a few times where I get a very loud click when turning the key. Sometimes I would have to constantly toggle the key for two minutes to get it started. Just checked all connections and cleaned battery connections.

Called B&M and Ron told me to bring it in. Now trying to figure out how to get over there.

B&M replaced the solenoid free of charge. Now the dam thing will not stop cranking over when ign 1 fuse is in. Key switch or ignition switch??? This thing is costing me work.....
