Last few months with this truck have been frusterating,lol

Heres my last problem. Weather a bit colder in the 20's.
I do plug the truck in at night.
Go to start it in the morning and the starter turns over for a couple of seconds then just spins freely. I'm pretty sure its the starter but I'm wondering if there is some sort of safety clutch on it?
Since I'm not sure I wanted to ask before I just assume I need to pick up a starter
thanks

 

Yeah bendix isn't kicking out all the way and it's slipping and getting kicked back. Starter time.

 

Here's the hot trick for installing it again with the top bolt.

 

Thanks guys that's what I'm thinking to.
That's a neat trick, will do

 

Look into replacing it with the 6.4 starter. Lotsa threads here.

 

 

I think voice recognition wasn't your friend today, Sean. LOL Will admit to having "threatened" a few though, without success.

 

As we used to say in short hand : ROFLOL.
