hey NSMC fans long time no see or hear from, whats been up, nothin i know of, im having a problem with my old truck i call it, the 79 ford f-150 right, hey i had put a new starter on it last week right, when i put it on, the started drive was touching up against the flywheel making a grinding noise and cruck to normal right, i drove it and it sound like it would grind more when i press the accelerator pedal right, so i had to get a starter alignment shim and put it on, boom that cured the problem, the starter was a remanufactured type with a one year warranty right from autozone, that aint the first starter i got from them, that was actually the 2nd rebuilt starter, man let me tell u, the first one was making noise way more louder than this previous one, it sure was, time it crank, it was so loud til i had to cut it off, its like the started drive didnt wanna go back far enough time the starter engaged to crank it up, so i took it off and took it back and did a damage swap, it had to be ordered from a different store so i had to wait for it to come in the next day right, now to the solenoid, i want yall to know that when i first got the starter solenoid from a store call bumper to bumper, i think that truck is playing me right, it didnt wanna crank when i put a new solenoid on it right, all it would do it make that clicking noise and the darn solenoid was new which i dont understand man, that solenoid was only 7 dollars and some change right, well i had put the factory one back on right and i declare if it crunk, but on the starter it said that its highly recommended to replace the solenoid when installing a new starter right, so when it crunk up with the old factory one, i had done took the new one back right which was last tuesday on the day i got the shim alignment, the darn truck was doing good for almost a week of enjoyable driving up until yesterday right, when i went outside to get into it and crank it up, man it did not wanna crank as i sat there kept on re-trying it right, so i took it upon myself to walk to NAPA auto parts and get one of they sterters right and slap it on, man i declare when i put it on, boom still no luck of a got darn crank right, i called and told them right, the battery is good and all right, cause napa test it 2 weeks ago, the alternator is as well too right, so what i done also was this, went inside house and got my jumper/booster right and tried to jump it off and see what happens, nothing but a darn loud clicking sound with a new solenoid installed on there, and it was hook up correct right, i also tried this, i turn the key to on position and went and touch positive starter side right, nothing happens from that point on man,

well i didnt need no comment nor feedback on the starter solenoid cause i got the truck to finally crank all by myself, all i had to do was get a battery terminal and post cleaner right, tighten the battery good for a connection and that my truck should be able to crank, boom i declare if it did, i went to napa auto parts and talked to a buddy that work there, he told me to do that and i did as he said too, so Thank the Lord for his blessings restored upon me and my shoulder, Thank You God for that blessing from an napa auto parts employee. SO now to yall guys, Im back on the road, i been driving my baby today. but theres still alot need to be done to it.
