2002 Ford 7.3L 2WD 200K miles
My starter was making a grinding noise and the bolts had backed out. Wound up replacing the starter all together. Seemed to work for a little while and then went back to making the grinding noise again. I took the starter back and got a warranty replacement and took it to the shop last week to have it installed with lock-tite. It worked perfectly for a few days and then went back to grinding again yesterday afternoon. Any idea why it is still doing it? I bought a new Duralast Gold 5154 starter from Autozone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
