My starter just quiit. I pulled up to the gas pump and turned my truck off, and it didn't start again. Just a dead click. I had the old one tested at Advance Auto and it tested bad. I have tried several starters including one for a manual transmission. Nothing has worked so far. The starter the computer calls for will start my truck, but the bendix will not disengage the fly wheel on the front end. I have another starter and a shim. The parts store said, if this didn't work I should come get a refund and go to the Ford dealership and get a Motor Craft part.
How long since you had this truck? Maybe they put in a wrong flexplate.
For all the years I've been working on FORD products I've never use a shim/s. On GM its nothing new-its make to make noise.
I'll be waiting for the OEM
