    [RC] My Truck Won't Go: Part II In the Epic Series... - Linda B. Merims


    1986 GMC 3/4 Ton HD
    454 V8
     
     
    I won't give you all the long version of the story on
    why I had to drive from North Stonington, Connecticut
    to Clemson, South Carolina without turning off the
    engine.  Nor why--after replacing the starter in
    Clemson--I also had to drive from Clemson,
    South Carolina to Norris, Tennessee without
    turning off the engine again...
     
    Suffice to ask:  is there any make of starter that
    it is better to stick in one of these old 454's than
    a rebuilt Chevy AC Delco?  Something more
    resistant to heat?
     
    By the way, the Clemson trails conference was
    WONDERFUL!
