starter
 

ok im replacing the starter on my v6 it came off just fine but now i cant get the new one back on its barely off from the starter mount but i cant get the starter to go in anymore can anyone help me out

Did it match-up with the old one? Some of these re-man starters can have a slight difference on the housing and may cause interference in some vehicles. Check both the starter body as well as the solenoid are of the same lenths.

Is that a new starter?...

the old starter and the new starter are exactly the same and it is a brand new fresh out the box starter

something must be different. look for marks on the starter to see if u can tell were its hitting.

i had the same exact prob when i was doin an izuzu (same 3.1 motor) u have to hand start the bolt on the passenger side first then start the other 1 and tighten. trust me it was a b****h
