Definitive Fix for Starter Misalignment

Right now I'm running a very molested Ford F250 starter that was modified to move the starter gear closer to the ring gear. It works, but I did a poor job of the needed modifications (I was frustrated, and in a hurry). I was planning on buying another F250 starter, weld up the bottom hole, reposition it, and re-machine the locating ring and starter hole. Why? Because I think the ovalized hole solution eventually will cause ring gear failure when the starter finds its way back to the original position. I just don't want that risk.

If this RobbMc starter solves it, I'll be a real happy guy. If it doesn't, I'll have one for sale.

Hey Byron,

Did you order the RobbMc starter? Have you installed it? Any feedback?

I ask, because I think I need a new starter, and I want to be sure I get best one for the $$$.

Thanks,
Randy...
