News flash: our '97 Sub K2500 is still dead.

Seriously, though, had wife turn ignition key while I had my hand on the fuel shutoff solenoid, and not much happened. How much of a click or thunk should I be expecting to hear / feel? I would swear that I felt a "snap" vibration and heard a faint click in the solenoid when she turned off the ignition.

Or, if I have to ask this question, is the answer obvious (dead solenoid / no actuating signal)?

Thanks in advance for any advice rendered.

Still love this truck, and believe it or not, so does my wife!

Its hard to feel and I couldn't hear mine with all the other stuff clicking.

Did you try to tap on it (lightly) while she is cranking? A light tap on the fsd might also spark life for a crank up.
