Hello,this is the case here, i have a neighbor who owns a starter/alternator
shop,he just rebuilt the starter for me for 50 bucks .he says he put in a
rebuilt armature and bendix...but the flywheel ringgear can only be replaced
by
removing the flywheel.i wasn't sure if this was possible with the motor in the
truck...but i have been told by a few sources yes its possible.....so that is
the next step..but it sounds like work....ill keep ya all posted....thanks
