6.7l Starter Problems

Hi - wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and what it was caused by and fixed - starting about 4 months ago, when starting my truck, the starter would miss; I would turn the key to start, then the starter spins and spools up very high and loud but not crank the engine. I have to turn the key off to make it stop and then try again. Usually the second or third time it will grab and turn the engine and start. It happens about once a week or once every 10 or 12 times I start my truck with all the other times being normal. Doesn't matter if it's a cold start or already warmed up.

It's a 2012, 6.7L F250 with 52,000 miles.

Hoping to get some ideas what is causing it and how it can be fixed.

Thanks,
-Scott

dry or dirty bendex... the device at the nose of the starter that moves the gear to the flywheel...
I do not know if they are serviceable on a Diesel...
