Thanks. You saved me a ton of money and time. I got One Click and that was it. I took my starter out and cleaned the connections as you suggested. Worked great!

Thank you so much for this! I just replaced my starter on my 18 LTZ and watched this about 10 times. The only issue I had was my red clip broke, but not too worried about it. Thanks again for the detailed video. I couldn’t have done it without this. 👍🏼

@@Tomsfoolery. Same weather here in Wisco for the most part. Got slammed during Xmas with about a foot of snow, high winds and bitter cold. Then rain off and on, with mild temps until this Wednesday when we got a fresh 5 inches or so. I was getting concerned seeing all the land mines in the yard, but they’re gone now!

I just did this in my driveway on ramps. Be very very careful removing the starter wire as there is a red clip that will break under little to no resistance. I would recommend doing it this way, yanking the tire and fender well because it is right going up from underneath. I was lucky enough to not break the clip on mine. I used a small flat head and went very slowly getting it off. This is a great tutorial but if you don’t have a car lift, you can do it from under the truck!

2017 Silverado custom, multiple occasions had a no start issue where it would do nothing but click the starter once and everything would die. Battery is 9 months old so I jiggled the wires at both ends, battery fuse and starter and the thing started right up. Looks like I have some cleaning to do.

Helpful tip to not break the red tab. Don’t pull down on the tab. Instead, use a 90 degree pick to push down on the body of the tab that’s inside the connector.

How you doing bro , I hope you see this and comment back soon , but I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 lt 5.3 engine 2 wheel drive . Long story short bro , I think there’s electrical problems . Stability track would come on , the truck flickers off and on . And now it just won’t start . We have a new battery in the truck , we thought it was the starter but we think it has something to do with electrical . What and how can I go about this bro ? I don’t wanna buy a new starter and install it just for the truck still not start up .

The starter would need to be removed to clean up that bad connection. If this was my own truck, I would have stuck the old starter back in it and ran it.

I am having the "1 click" issue, but my truck still starts if I have a higher voltage (i.e getting a jumper from another running vehicle). Would it stand to reason that the higher voltage is overcoming some sort of corrosion issue in the starter? The issue is progressively getting worse. It used to start after driving for a bit after a couple hours of being off but now it wont last 5 minutes.

There's no way the starter is going to slip through those 2 hard metal lines? I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to get it out without any more removing. Removing. Any advice?
