starter install - won't fit
starter install - won't fit I got a new starter from rockauto, brand is "pure energy" #6492SN, and it uses 2 long bolts instead of one short and one long. I've seen a bunch of posts saying this type of starter can be installed in place of the oem one (which can break at the short bolt side). (Two long bolts is the same as the truck starter?) But, the new one will *not* fit, since there's a flange that sticks out from the block that hits the starter where it's changed for the long bolt. You can see what I mean in this post:

just scroll to the 2nd pic with the arrows, the part that sticks out and gets in the way is #5.
So anyway, has anyone actually installed this starter with the 2 long bolts? If so, what brand? How did you get it to fit?

So I'm returning this one (big thumbs up for rockauto) and will get the official "truck starter", just have to find the part # for that.
