Installation: Replacing a Lifter Cable (1983–2000 System)
Safety: Prop the roof securely — never rely on the remaining cables to hold it.
- Era check: this procedure is for the 1983–2000 system — a winch with FOUR cables and turnbuckles. If your Starcraft has a tongue-mounted winch with ONE cable to a 4-way yoke, use the 1982-and-older guide instead.
- Raise the roof to within an inch or two of correct height and prop the broken corner (hold it up by hand while cranking to avoid over-stressing the other cables).
- Slide out the bunk end and remove the side canvas far enough to expose the lifter.
- Raise the first stage of the lifter until the anchor bolt is clear of the sidewall (StarLite models: break the seal at the top of the lifter pocket; some models have cover plates; you may need to remove 4–5 bed-track screws for pulley clearance).
- Remove the bolt holding the pulley at the top of the first stage (3-stage lifters: the looped cable end can thread through the pulley assembly instead). Tip: tape over the back of the wrench so the nut cannot drop into the lifter pocket.
- Remove the anchor bolt holding the looped end of the cable to the first stage, then pull the old cable out through the bottom of the lifter pocket.
- Thread the looped end of the new cable through the frame pulleys and up into the lifter pocket. Do not twist the new cable.
- Wrap the cable around the pulley and insert the pulley into its bracket at the top of the first stage.
- Torque the pulley nut/bolt and the cable anchor bolt to 6 ft/lbs; connect the lifter cable to the turnbuckle.
- Adjust the roof height following the Winch section of the guide.
