Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Starters

The Silverado 1500 from Chevrolet is a powerful pickup truck available in three cab lengths including crew cab and regular cab. No matter what you set out to do in your full-size Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup, you depend on the powerful engine to get you where you need to go. If you cant get that engine started, though, that "to do" list will never get done, and thats why its so important to make sure your Silverados starter is working properly at all times.

What types of starters are there for a Chevrolet Silverado?

Selecting the correct Chevrolet Silverado 1500 starters for your vehicle is crucial to ensuring you can easily start your engine time after time. With your trucks large engine, it takes a lot of power to begin the combustion process by allowing the engine to draw in enough air to allow combustion to take place. An undersized motor wont allow enough air into the engine from a cold start, preventing combustion from taking place.

For your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, though, there are plenty of right-sized starter motors, both new and used. If you prefer a factory part, there are Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) starters. There are also numerous aftermarket starters. Just check to make sure the starter you select is able to work with your particular model year as the Silverados engine size and specifications have changed over time.

How do you replace a starter on a Chevrolet Silverado?

Due to its larger engine compartment, replacing the starter on your standard or hybrid Silverado 1500 is easier compared to most other vehicles. The only specialty tool you might need is a floor jack and jack stands as the starter must be accessed from underneath the truck. If you dont have these items, you can still change the starter, but you just wont have as much room when youre underneath the vehicle.

  1. Pop the hood and remove the negative battery cable to prevent electrocution or damage to the starter motor or other engine components.
  2. Locate the starter and remove the two bolts holding it in place underneath the truck. Then, remove the two wires running to it by loosening the bolts holding the connections in place.
  3. Maneuver the old starter out between the other engine components carefully and then maneuver the new starter into place.
  4. Reattach the electrical connections by reinstalling the bolts.
  5. Reinstall the starter by reattaching the bolts that hold it in place. If youve got your truck on jack stands, remove them and then reconnect the negative battery cable. Start the truck to ensure proper operation of the new starter.
How do you maintain a starter motor on a Silverado?

Maintaining the starter motor on your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ensures you get many years of service from it, preventing you from being stranded somewhere because your engine wont start. There are components in your starter that can be replaced individually, and if you dont want to purchase an entire new starter for your Chevy pickup, this might be a good first step.

Additionally, when youre starting your Silverado, if its having trouble starting, dont keep trying to crank the motor. A little extra time is okay, but any longer will only drain your battery and damage your starter motor. Aside from that, simply ensuring the other components in the starter system are working properly is a great way to keep your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 starter motor working well, too.
