    Fixed starting problem.....

    Ever since I got my beast it has been starting really bad (grinding sounds). After going threw about 6 starters, I installed a new flywheel. And still had starter issues. Well, just got it fixed!!! Turns out the ring gear on the new flywheel was out of round (egg shaped if you will). We put on a new ring gear and it was also out of round. Put on another new ring gear and tadah... It starts great!!!! So it is very worth the $ to have someone check it and make sure. Thanks for all that has helped me through all this!!! Now just waiting on a valve cover from BJ's, and need to do the breaks....
