So after 5 months of running my truck I got the dreaded starter grind, twice in about 6 starts today. I can't remember the last time it was ever the starter drive that was wore down so I'll figure ring gear as the most likely culprit. My initial search turned up nothing on the chain websites. Called my local CarQuest and they hitting the books for me. Seems like I read here that the IDI's only stop in 3 places so the ring gears must take a beating. What are my options in finding a new one and any input on how fast these go from grinding to not engaging at all would be good.
