It's been quite a day!
We got the bus started!!!! After removing the old starter (after much effort) I called it a night. Today, I got the new starter installed where the old one was and connected all the bolts and wires.
Through the opening, I can see the gear that starts the vehicle. And the three large bolts that secure the starter in place.
One of the trickier parts was splicing the old wire into the new starter. The wires were too large to fit in the little connector. The wire is supposed to fit in snuggley, then crimped down. Jamming all those copper wires into the tube took some time and effort and patience.
After reconnecting the battery, I turned the key. I heard it turn over before clicking. This means the starter is working! I just need to jump the battery and we're good!
I plugged in the battery for a jump and turned the key.
VROOOOM!!!!!!! We have a functioning engine again! Horrrayy!
Bless the Most High!
Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.
Bank Bailout Special!
It's happening, folks. The banks are going under! To educate our children about what is going on, there is a "Bank Bailout Book Bonanza" going on with the Tuttle Twins! Use coupon code FORTY for 40% off your purchase! Check out the books here.

Awesome work. Have just bought a new diesel partical filter and hope for a successful running of my car too.
Good luck with the install, we considered getting a diesel, the gas mileage is pretty sad with this bus.
It seems you didn't use a glove while trying to put the new starter
Is that safe enough?
Nope, I sliced my finger pretty well. Thankfully I still have use of my hand. :-)
Beautiful family.
Reviewed and Approved for an Ecency boost. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the compliment and thank you for the boost!
