If you are talking 2 ton or so, yes it is the same. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 208 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 208 | I bought a motor with transmission that was out of a grain truck. It had a starter with it. The starter has a cylianoid on it. The starter works just fine but wont turn the motor over. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
What year and size of "big truck" 47-55?
54/55 (at least) 2-ton GMC COEs came with a solenoid-starter.
Chevrolet double-duty (forward-control - step-van) trucks and trucks equipped with automatic transmissions had starters with solenoids (as did 49-54 cars).

A 12 volt has a different tooth count and will not turn the engine. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 695 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 695 | | | |
