Got the starter in this morning. Laying in the gravel parking area on the farm in a rain storm. I came in the house wet everywhere. I tried to lay on a piece of cardboard but it was futile. I did not take any pictures under the truck BC it was so wet, but I did take some of the starter before installation.
After installation I twisted the key and could not believe how much quicker the engine turns over now. I knew the old one was tried I just didn't realize how tired!
I am getting just a little bit whine or whatever you want to call the crank noise that sometimes occurs with these starters. It's not terrible and I could probably get away with just leaving it, but it's there. Of course all my chevy starter shims are at the shop. I probably need to install 1 of the thinnest shims I think they are 1/64th or something like that. Well I'll pull the cover off the bellhousing and do the paper clip trick.
