I just purchased a 2005 2500HD LT crew cab 4X4 Duramax. With 140 mi on it my starter went south. Anybody had this problem?:mad:

Not that I have heard of... I would suspect just a bad part. Once the new one is installed, you will be extremely happy with the set-up. Good Luck!

Are you sure it's the starter?? I had a flexplate go away on me with less than 3000 miles on the clock. Starter wouldn't engage it and left me stranded at a truckstop outside Lake Havasu, AZ. Local dealer replaced the starter without checking the flexplate and the problem re-occured shortly thereafter (the next time I shut it off and it stopped at the bad spot on the flexplate).

Just something to think about . . . .

Yesterday I posted that my starter went south. One of our members replied to my post and told me to check the flex plate. He had a starter problem and it turned out to be a deffective flex plate. I called my dealer and ask them to check it and it was bad. They originally were only going to replace my starter which would not have solved the problem. :) Thank you.
