Even more awesome in person
Uh.. any chance you could post a picture of your starter? 4-5/16" bolts and "large" starter don't match.

Not 100% sure but that looks like the "mid size" which yeah, is basically the large starter. I haven't messed with too many of them but they're the big starters that came on the later trucks, it's not quite as big as the old school large starters, but still pretty damn big and heavy. Also pretty sure it takes the same 4-5/8" bolts the large starter does, but again, I haven't messed with too many of those.

Depends on how much thread was available past the stack of shims. I'd be more inclined to think the stack of shims let the starter walk around and worked the bolts loose. Why did it require so many, and how many is "every shim in the kit" ? I think I'd be looking at a different starter.A related question… I bought an after market starter that was much bigger in size… I literally have every shim in the kit on it before linkage occurred. Do I need longer bolts? One of my bolts fell out and left me stranded recently. Would bolts too short be the cause of them wiggling out?
Figured as much. I’d say you’re 100% correct. I’m not really sure why it took so many. Gonna re-evaluate the situation asap. Thanks for you time in responding.Depends on how much thread was available past the stack of shims.
