Broke starter right of the block Hey guys, I had know idea why my starter was just hummmin away. I had someone look at it and they said i had internal damage. come to find out the starter busted right of the block.... Does anyone out there no how this can be fixed. It would be great if i didnt have to pull the motor.
Oh crap dude, i've heard of this issue before...
It was something to do with one bolt being smaller then the other.
(2 bolts hold the starter on).
Everyone that had it break off, (while still in warranty), had to replace the block :o

I've read about this and about people putting the old style starter back on and over tightening and braking the piece of the starter. I think this has scared me (again) so i replace my stock starter. I do haver 173,xxx miles so i don't want this to happen to me. Good luck midnightbluez28, hope you can get that fixed and give an update, good luck.

Been holding fine for almost 3 years.
Took him about 20 minutes.
Post pics of your break...........
IF...you can get it welded back together, you then must buy the starter with two long bolts.....truck starter. I got mine on ebay for about $65.00. Its a beast and has been great for like 3 years......
Here;s my thread, all the info you need.

Man, it was long ago. But any of the ebay ones that include the extra longer bolt. Then you just toss out your short bolt, use your old long bolt and the new supplied new long bolt. Then you have two long bolts with the two beefed up starter tab mounts on the starter.
You can see the difference. Old style has the one little tab mount, now they beefed it up to be like the other beefed up mount.
This one is just fine:

Just wanted to thank all the guys who helped with my broken starter bracket. I ended up buying whats called a starter bridge it went on easy, just shaved the block a little and it went right in.Havent had it on long but i would think its better than a weld. I will keep you all updated. Thanks again.
