New to me 1996 k2500 with the 5.7 and 4l80, 95k miles, runs mint, starts like crap. So I went to investigate why the starter grinds and sometimes binds up and I find the infamous cracked block, no front support on the starter. So what is the preferred repair?? It looks like a JB weld repair was attempted in the past. Starter bolt bottoms out and toques to spec. Flywheel looks like crap, i found lots of metal filings. I was thinking pull the motor and braze in a stud, or braze the broken piece back on, align a new starter and flywheel and send it?? I just bought this truck, i got a good enough deal on it, first GMC product ever, i have an engine hoist and all the tools, just sucks being baptized by fire into the GMC club. Anyways, advice would be much thanked. Pics
