Are you having trouble getting your truck to start? If so, you may have a problem with one of your ignition components. Common culprits include dead batteries, malfunctioning alternators, old glow plugs, and damaged ignition cables.
Your alternator is designed to charge your batteries using the power of your engine. If this component fails, your battery won’t get any power, hence the inability to start your truck. Alternators generally fail as a result of old age, for they only typically last 80 to 150 thousand miles. At Impulse Repairs, we’ll either repair or replace your old alternator and get you back out on the road before you know it.
Your glow plugs are designed to heat your fuel to encourage combustion. If these glow plugs fail, it will be significantly harder to get your engine running. Fortunately, Hawaii’s climate may mitigate this issue, as the engine will start as long as it’s warm enough. However, the added stress on your starter motor may decrease its lifespan and lead to future problems.
Ever wonder how your engine actually starts? Well, that would be your starter! Your starter is designed to start the ignition process, and will often malfunction if under severe stress. Something as simple as bad glow plugs can put added stress on your starter, therefore decreasing its lifespan and effectiveness.
