Thanks Rick I'll just leave them as they are and not remove them to add any. I know they are torqued properly since I used a torque wrench set to 33 ft lbs to be sure I had them tight enough and correct

Has anyone installed the GM starter bolts that do not have a flange made into the head of the bolt? The new ones I bought don't and I didn't install any washers or spacers if you call them that and I have a guy telling me the bolt heads will eat into the starter head where the bolts screw in...

Thanks I will try that, I cant start it now since my keys are riding around in the wife's car at the moment. I did pull the fuse, it doesn't appear blown but I replaced it anyway. I didn't notice the gen 2 light coming on at all yesterday, just the gen 1 light which went out as soon as the...

Ok just an update. I installed a new starter today. I got a MT27 and a MT28 curtesy of 67caprice427. I chose to try the MT28. I went ahead and picked up a torque wrench and I'm glad I did as the tightness I put on the starter bolts wasn't quite 33ft lbs as I'm a bad judge of tightness I guess...

I'm installing a new starter this morning, this is my first starter install so how tight do I need to go with the starter bolts? I'm using brand new GM bolts and I do not have a torque wrench. Will they bottom out and stop at all?

I got a great package deal on a good MT27 and a new MT28 from 67caprice427 in this thread, he's converting to 12v and gas and no longer needed them. I should have them tomorrow. I'm taking the one I pulled off the truck tomorrow also to a rebuild shop the company I work for uses to rebuild...

So I will run the new ones without a washer then. I'm getting GM 15544950 bolts, a handful of them actually since I'm already paying shipping.

Hmmm, I ask as these I pulled from this starter which is the wrong starter (12v instead of 24v) has them and the starter head appears to have a recess or milled out area the same size as the washers on these. If they don't belong I believe you as they were probably added by the same person that...

I'm picking up several sets of new GM starter bolts. Does anyone know the size of the washer that would be correct for them or is it typical to reuse the old washers?

Well since I'm down until I get my starter rebuilt and or a new one bought this week I went ahead and did the doghead mod on this one also.

can this one be built to 24v specs or is it just about useless to me now? The only difference I see between the wires on the A1 vs my other 1028 is they have a separate power wire going to the diamond and the glow plug relay from each battery where as my regular 1028 has 1 wire going to the...

Hmmm the plot thickens, I didn't know this. The only thing I noticed is it came from the Army with the resistor bypass and there were 2 starter bolts (I didn't know what they were at the time) in the passenger floor board. I just set the terminals back on the posts for the pics as I had them...

LOL well I got the blue oval about 2 months ago to use as my daily driver since it has A/C and a drivetrain that I like even though I'm more of a Chevy guy. Its built with the heavy duty stuff and power nothing, just the way I like them. It has been a hand full ever since as the previous owner...

I didn't know that. I have heard in the past its best to keep the same starter with the engine for that reason

mine is 24v not 12v.

I'm pondering getting the GR starter and the required brace and running that and having my current direct drive rebuilt as a spare. You didn't have to mess with any shims and such on your 28MT install?

I would be good with that as well. I didn't know you had a HMMWV also? I guess I didn't figure you for the type lol

Disregard the new starter price, l wasn't paying attention its a 12v starter. If the armature got into the field does that make this one not rebuildable ?

Can they replace the broken nose piece? I found a guy local to me selling a brand new 27MT for $179 that seems like a decent deal. I'm also pondering just switching to a 28MT gear reduction starter

Ok guys said a little prayer removed the starter and I was able to turn the engine be the crank pulley with my bar. Definitely had a starter replacement in its past as this one has a reman tag. Possibly in 92 at TEAD when it was converted?
