Default Starter & radiator flush

As some may have seen in my new member post i said i had starter problems, well I put in a new starter this time with a LLT warrenty. Problem is still there, i dont hear the "ggzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZ" sound anymore, but it sounds like it has problems turning over like it did before. It will turn over eventually but just having problems doing it so I dont know whats next to look at.


Also I have no clue where the pet **** is on my radiator, I looked everywhere for it and nothing. Is there an easier way to drain the radiator?

1994 S10 Blazer W engine

#1 starter, have you checked the charging system yet? if so did you do charging while running and then load test on the battery?

#2 flushing radiator, you could pull off the bottom radiator hose and let the water gush out ...

I don't know how to check the charging system. If you are talking about the alternator then i still don't know how to check if its working properly. I don't think my blazer has a charging system warning light either.


But now that I'm reading up on a google, the problem might be my battery as I have not checked since I had it and I have no clue how old it was before that.

Take it to the nearest AutoZone and they can test your battery and alternator for free.

What is the condition of the battery wire to the starter? You can have everything ok but if the battery wire is in poor condition the wire will not carry the amps. Same with the ground cable from the battery.
