If you have headers put a heat shield over the starter. That is what fixed my 84 C-10 starter issues.
If it is a gear alignment problem try shimming. If it is a electrical problem try the heat shield.
The answer to the question is no. If the flywheel is ground or damaged it needs to be replaced.
if the engine has high comprshen it will eat starters
i have a 95 Mercury Villager,,it keeps eating Starters,,except its not the Flywheel,, Just found out that the Flywheel has been Reverseing,,, what would cause that to happin...Help...
bad ground wire or not enough ground
Just a suggestion Check the flywheel
the same place all starters are located against the flywheel.
it may be that your flywheel is loose, and the starter is jumping the teeth,
yep bad starters but a lot of the trouble is caused by the two part flywheel which has anti shock springs in it if they are gone it will eat starters but worse can damage the gearbox too the best cure if this is the case ford still sell the old type solid flywheel for the new vans and this cures the problem just google flywheel transit and you will find a lot of sites with unhappy ford transit customers but other than that they don't give much other trouble
No. Chevy uses a number of different noses for their starters. The size of the flywheel and year and model of engine determine what nose is needed. The 153 tooth flywheel is smaller in diamaiater than the 168 tooth flywheel. If you want to use a starter from a 168 tooth flywheel on a 153 tooth flywheel the nose from the smaller flywheel starter will have to be exchanged onto the larger flywheel prior to using it.
Its probably a bad flywheel
Modern starters include: * the starter motor... a motor * the solenoid, which engages the electrical current to the starter AND engages the gear to the flywheel. * the bendix, which is a gear that engages the starter to the flywheel.
The starters will not interchange. The starters do not align with the bolt holes and flywheel.
