Ever have this happen
Last week my starter froze up, lots of mudding I suspect. went to town bought a remanufactered starter. Two days later once again my truck won't turn over. Pulled the starter to find half of the gear, wich engages the flexplate, to be missing. Doesn't this seem strange? What could cause this?

I've seen a lot of problems with rebuilt starters. You may have just got a bad one that did not engage/disengage properly.

I hope so, cause otherwise it's going to get expensive real fast.
