CLASSSSSSSS---CLASS--CLASS --FOCUS UP FRONT
next question--
before I did all the engine stuff-
I had to pull the trans to replace the flexplate----
so I could spine the motor with out it hittin the dead spot's
any way
this mourning the starter would not did-engage
what to do!!!!!---shims
I don't know----
changed strarters today
did same thing
I cant tell if starter motor stops turning but Bendix is out--how do you tell?
been reading other post about fender relay
will try that tomoro
this is what I found out--even with the Bendix all the way in -(and it does go in )
it still hit the gear ring---
so I shimmed it with 2 washers between starter and bell housing
on my --IDI- the starter has three bolting points-- this powerstroke-- only has two
sowwwww- when I shimed it the first time-- starter was not straight--- the second time I had to put 2 washers between starter and housing were a third bolt whould be--
started fine no more grinding------- did ford try to save money---one bolt at a time
Are the two bolts you put in opposite one another by 180 degrees? Or did you just put in two bolts 90 degrees apart? Does the starter itself have three mounting holes?
the first thought that came to my mind---oh no I put the flex plate in wrong---
so I took the inspection cover off the short bus I just traded for---what a releaf
-its working now
just glad I was able to move the truck before this foot /half snow-- so I can snow blow drive way
and thank you all for helping
