this morning my g/f's truck wouldnt start. its a 2002 chevy silverado 2500 HD. it just made a *click* noise. so i tried to fiddle with the tumbler thinkin the ignition switch might be going out. no luck. so then i was thinkin maybe all the cranking amps were sucked out of the battery because i showed 13v(full battery) but no crank. so i hooked up a charger and set to "crank" still got the *click*
then i got down on the ground. gave the starter a few light taps with a hammer and wallah! the truck starts. why does the starter do this? it was negative 5 degrees this morning with a windchill down to -20. does the starter have to be replaced or was this just a fluke and some moister got down into the starter and froze? ideas?
thanks in advance!
