Removed, looks fine visually.  Teeth look fine on the flywheel and the starter.  On the bench, it extends, spins, but doesent retract.  Spin starts slowely and ramps up, maybe because I was using #10 wire...  Sounds like it has gravel inside.

the gravel part doesn't sound good. no retract usually means it wants some lube. Small wire may be the issue on slow start

Odd, because it wouldn't extend in the car.

New one will be here today.  Lifetime replacement through FCP Euro.  I confirmed with them that this is the correct starter and there is not a different one for deisel.

New Bosch installed and it sounds like a normal starting vehicle.  Now I think the last one was not right from the git-go.

Has been a string of that. I still wonder if there may be something funky with the flywheel that’s killing them. No idea what that could be though

Mikemike are you going to be in the shop this weekend?  I'd like to hook this thing up to the scanner, pretty sure theres a wheel bearing going out and all the brake warning lights are on.  I don't want to have to fix anything but starters this winter ;D.

I should be around other than park cleanup saturday. Sunday available for scanning and for lifting and wheel wiggling. I'm 80% sure I have bearings in stock, front and rear. No ABS sensors or calipers stocked though.

Good call

I may order a set of the fancy rack crossover and see if I can dupe the fittings that adapt to an-4. I should check the other two racks in my fleet, I’m sure they’re just as crunchy as my wagon where they failed and yours didn’t look great. Hundred bucks a set seems pretty proud to me but I bet it is custom machine work.
