Thanks, man. My wife's 2011 Enclave has the same symptoms. Sometimes you turn the key and _silence_. Sometimes it starts, but labors a little bit. I replaced the battery because we did kill the old one, but the problem persists. It does make one wonder if the problem is as simple as a loose connection on the starter, but to your point, if you are going to the trouble to get to that nut, you may as well replace the whole thing.

Very nice video. Got the same engine in my 07 lacrosse. Starter appears to be a dead short now, it's got to go. My biggest fear is breaking a manifold bolt. I called gm dealer and shop time is 1.2 hour. I want to have them do it, but they are charging a right leg for the starter. I know they probably won't let you buy your own for them to install. That's the hold back for me right now.

I just did the starter on my 2011 Acadia today. Definitely one of the worst jobs! I let all the catalytic converter and exhaust bolts soak with penetrating fluid overnight and then was able to impact them off. But I swear everything on this job has something else in the way. I learned lots of new swear words and I didn't even try to film most of it - just filmed the steps after they were completed. I will hopefully finish putting everything back together tomorrow and see if the vehicle will start.

If your starter didn't die yet it will leave you stranded soon enough. The signs of the starter going bad are slow starts, similar to a weak battery. I switch batteries twice before realizing that it was a starter. I ignored the weak starts thinking the warm weather would buy me some time and I found myself replacing the starter today in my driveway as I got stranded and also cranked it so much it shorted and started taking out ecm and pcm fuses and causing erratic dash behavior.

There is something drawing it down. You need to have it tested for some sort of parasitic draw. When I worked as a mechanic I once found a car that would draw the battery down overnight and it turned out the trunk light switch was broken and it was on all of the time.

If your car is in the rain it'll oftenly do this, Clean out your drains and your top window and that will stop the water from draining down into the car and put a heater on the floorboard and dry that corner out on the passenger side of the car that will fix your problem. drains get plugged up in the sunroof there's one on each side in the corners. the water leaks down and gets into the fuse box and that's shorts that all out car won't start or nothing. the GMC Acadia are bad about that.
