Hello to the Group,

For several years my starter/flywheel ring gear has been grinding about every third or forth time I start it; of course, it's been getting worse. Very cool sound when people are checking out your truck when you're leaving a busy parking lot.

Anyway, with all the snow we've gotten here in flat Kansas I started suffering from cabin fever, so I went out in the garage over the weekend and before I knew it, the flywheel was sitting on my bench.

The new ring gear I got from LMC is the wrong diameter (14"). Mine old one is 16" diameter. I was calling around town today and I'm having a difficult time finding a replacement; although, a local guy can order one that is 191 tooth count, but it's shown for a V8. I think this could be a mistake. I counted mine and it is 191 and has a number stamped on it, 2369440.

Can anyone verify they have replaced the same one and provide recommendations to locate one.

Thanks in advance!

David
