F**k my truck

bastard wont start....battery's good, so is the starter, alt (not that it would have anything to do with starting)...battery is grounded good...there are no bare spots on main power wire, or any accessory wires. i dont know what the f**k is up with this piece of s**t. someone help

bad fusible link?

kick it a few times, if it doesnt start then at it least let out some fustration.

does it even try to turn over or you turn the key and there is nothing ?

did you check the wire from the battery to the starter, i had to replace it on my s-10 cause the same thing would happen!!

lol i have a gmc sonoma and the same exact shit is happened. i dunno dude fuck my truck too

i turn the key it turns over like twice, then dies, if i keep holding the key (like 6 or 7 secs later) it turns over slowly and then starts.....f***************************k

my 97 started acting up a few years ago, all of a sudden it would shut off while I was driving. I couldn't figure it our i thought the fuel pump stopped or something, then I noticed everything shut off not just the fuel, well to make a long story short I figured out that the ignition switch was bad and would cut in and out. Truck would go completely dead. Ordered a new one at autozone for like 50 buck and problems went away.

Yeah, same shit happened to my dads truck. Might want to check that out too.

Hook up one of the Actron brand remote starter buttons (or any other brand...) they are a peice of test equip./ tool that Advance auto parts sells for $15 they are made so that you can diagnose a bad ignition. If you hook it up to the battery and the starter, when you press the button it will crank the engine (just like turning the key in the ignition). Basically, if the remote starter works then you know it's the ignition and not the starter and vise/versa.

BTW this is also a great inexpensive tool to have so that down the road when you might work on a timing issue you can turn the engine over while you're under the hood....

sell it and buy a maz
