Just wanted to know if this had ever happened to anyone else. Went to start up the bronco the other day, and the starter made the most hellacious racket I had ever heard, like the pinion gear wasn't engaging on the flywheel correctly. Crawled underneath the truck only to find the starter was damned close to falling off the bolts were so loose. The bottom one tightened right up but the top one is stripped now. I guess the tapped hole in the bellhousing hollowed itself out or something when things loosened up. So now I am off to drill and tap that hole out, and I am gonna soak both mounting bolts in alot of locktight!!! This ever happen to anyone else???
