Replacing The Starter On A '99 Silverado

[GMcarnut]

Hello all,

 

I found a succinct guide on replacing the starter on a '99 Silverado equipped with the 4.3L or 5.0L engine. Hope someone on this forum benefits from it:

 

 

1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.

 

2) Remove the bracket and shield.

 

3) Remove the wires.

 

4) Remove the mounting bolts and shims.

 

5) Remove the starter.

 

To install:

 

1) Install the starter.

 

2) Install the mounting bolts and shim. Torque the bolts to 33 ft lbs. (45 Nm).

 

3) Install the wires. Torque battery wire nut to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm) and ignition nut to 18 inch lbs. (2 Nm).

 

4) Install the bracket and shield. Torque the nuts to 53 inch lbs. (6 Nm).

 

5) Connect the negative battery cable.

 

--Shield (1), Starter (2), Bolt (3)
