so it doesnt even turn over?just the clicks?

[99Burbon4544x4]

yea just clicks like really fast but sounds like its not touching fly wheel but you hear it push out so i have no clue i tried rolling it in gear to see if maybe im missing some teeth on fly wheel i just bought the suburban liek 3 days ago and all worked fine when i checked it out before buying lol isnt that how it always is

haha i know the feeling..it definatly sounds like an electrical problem to me.id check the battery cable and make sure there are no loose wires on the alternator.if it still doesnt do it id try a new battery

[99Burbon4544x4]

battery was check its good 100% and i checked all wires all are fine i mean its been starting fine past three days till now

[redneckarmyMP]

ive never trusted those battery checks..ive had them test good but still werent any good

[99Burbon4544x4]

well ill try that i might just as well buy the optima yellow top like i wanted to haha

[redneckarmyMP]

Had the same problem with my 97 silverado.... put a new starter on and it did the same thing... Finally traced it back to the battery cables at the battery.... they were corroded and weren't getting enough juice through to the starter... I would definately try to clean those and the battery posts really well and spray some wd-40 on it and put them back before I bought a new battery.

hope this helps
