we know the starter gear must go into the flywheel gear (about 1/2"), otherwise the starter just spins, makes a grinding noise, etc,etc....my suggestion is to look (very close) for -anything- that "could" keep the starter away from the bellhousing / flywheel....maybe add just a little grease to the starter gear-on the gear teeth.....just a month ago I had a starter that somehow got a buildup of "crud" at the end of the starter-gear shaft - that kept the gear from going all the way out.(into the flywheel gear)....clean up & grease fixed mine......hope this might help...Jerry

Ahhh,
That sucks, I was hopin it was gonna be dead batteries, in fact I woulda bet money on it. I was having 1 of those days myself.
I decided to pull my old 85 K20 plow truck in the shop today since 2 customers didnt show up for there appointments. Well last year the tranny cooler lines rotted, so I did temporary fix, fixed that, then the fuel line started leaking, fixed that, then the oil pan started leaking from a rust spot, went to back the truck out, and the shift linkage broke. Fixed that and parked it back behind the shop...so much for being proactive lol.
I hope it goes well for ya and sorry for the troubles.
