2000 Chevrolet K3500 Starter

Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, you shall also disconnect the negative battery cable.

You need to install the starter mounting bolts and washers, through the starter to the engine, the wiring harness and the battery positive cable to the starter, the snap-on starter shield, the stands and lower the vehicle.

Original equipment maintenance-tree batteries will not be damaged by charge rates of 50 amps or more, as long as the battery does not spew electrolytes from the vents or heat to over 52°C (125°F).

You shall disconnect the battery negative cable, the battery positive cable, and the wiring harness from the starter, and remove the starter mounting bolts and washers, and the starter.
