Re: Starter & Shims

I pull the solenoid off . Then the bendix can be moved to the engagement position, and it will stay there, for viewing. Easier to observe what might be going on that way.
Many a flywheel has been damaged by the generic nose cones installed onto rebuilt starters. Does your have a GM part number on the aluminum cone?
Well it depends on the truck as some are indeed cast iron.
Also check to see if the block hanger bracket is on the outboard side of the starter. Most are junked as the untrained has no idea what they are for.
