Awesome! Thanks for the comment👍

Normally these starters don’t need shims however there is a few things that I would double check first I would make sure that the block and transmission are mated properly and that the alignment shim is between them if someone has had the trans or engine out and forgot to put this back that’s probably your problem if all that is good then I would make sure I had the correct starter some of those starters look the same but have more teeth on the bendix make sure you count teeth if all else fails I have seen people mistakingly put a flywheel on backwards which will cause the exact issue you are describing. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment👍

@@ChristmanGarage I've checked all of this and have even tried putting a shim in it. Still the same outcome

@@scottiegood3155 well🤔….without actually looking at the truck I’m not sure what else to check. Has the truck ever had the engine or transmission pulled out? Did it just start doing this one day or has it been doing it since you owned the truck? If it’s making the noise you are saying something is not lined up or the starter or flywheel is bad. Wished I could be of more help 🤔 Because I was told years ago and I live by this saying that assumption is the mother of all screw ups. Don’t assume anything

If I had disconnected just one of the terminals it wouldn’t have sparked I was being lazy and doing it the unsafe way👍

Never assume anything always check things and make sure First! 👍

@@ChristmanGarage finally made it home @ 1:44 am. So much testing and tinkering to do. Thanks for the reply!

Unhook the battery

Highly likely

You have a fuel or spark issue. Check for spark first and if it has spark I would check if it’s got fuel pressure. If no fuel then I would start with checking all fuses and the fuel pump inertia switch is usually located behind passenger kick panel they are common for tripping unintentionally and cutting off the fuel pump. Maybe this helps👍

icm or cranksens

I think they are 10x1.50 metric thread and they are usually about 1 1/2” long but they are a special application because the heads need to be 13mm to fit the starter housing

😂👍

I’m an idiot! 😂

Yep I used to rebuild starters and they make a three ear and a two ear head and I have used a two ear on a three ear application and it worked

@@ChristmanGarage Yeah two is usually good enough for most things that have 3 ^_^
