Yea, I'll get around to it eventually. I saved the failed part. The solenoid is engaged buy the small studs, so I was thinking possibly one of the larger studs partially rotated and damaged the connection but didn't completely break and it eventually gave up from the current draw through what...

So, as I said, I have no idea why the original starter and auxiliary starter solenoid where changed out, but I'm pretty sure this is the cause of the failure of the replacement aux solenoid.

Like I say, guy had a list the “preventative maintenance” that was being done and I don’t know if it was all because he thought it needed it or not. On the bright side, the truck runs like a mule and it seems all the big stuff is mechanically sound. Door gaskets are supposed to deliver today...

I don’t know for sure if there was an issue with the original. It, along with the original starter, was in the truck when I test drove it months ago and it fired right up. The guy had a whole list of stuff he was replacing to assure it was a reliable truck/ Mechanically it is, but there are some...

I was getting zero volts through the relay, and the click when it was triggered was pretty loud, so I was pretty sure it was engaging but bad. New part installed now and it fires right up. Now to either replace it with the proper military part and relegate this part to being an emergency spare...

Okay, the contactor is bad. Shorting across it and it fires right up.

All of that wiring is new, just done before we left Maryland, but given how many things I have had to redo, that doesn't mean there isn't an issue there. The problem started just after returning home and it was something that was just a once in a while thing. Press the starter button, nothing...

Not in the parts spread sheet and a search didn’t return any useful results, so curious if anyone has a Napa part # for the starter solenoid? My truck has a C7, not sure if the starter and solenoid are the same as 3116/3126 motors. Thanks
