Why would the flywheel and starter on a 89 Ranger with a V6 keep getting chewed up both both have been replaced twice within 12 months?
your fly wheel or starter is not balanced it sounds like it is your fly wheel because your transmission mount is gone or your motor mounts are gone. either one will offset when the mounts go.
There is a vin# break in that model year for the flywheel. The 8th digit of the vin number determines which flywheel was used. Basicly they used 2 different flywheels that year.

What else can I help you with?

What are the chances of the fly wheel being stripped if the starter on an 87 Ford Ranger suddenly stops engaging but still spins loudly and how do you check?
If the starter has been grinding against the flywheel for quite some time there is a GOOD chance that the flywheel is stripped. On the other hand, if it just started and it's engaged thoroughly in the past, you probably just have a bad starter bendix. Pull the starter then use a screwdriver or some other tool for prying to slowly turn the flywheel and inspect each tooth of the flywheel. Look for any that are significantly worn down or missing. If ANY fit that category you will need to pull the engine or transmission and replace the flywheel or flexplate depending on whether it's a manual transmission or an automatic.
