Starting issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A little while ago, my 77K20 with a 4-speed, started giving me issues when starting. It would make an awful grinding/whining type noise. I pulled the starter and saw the gear was missing a tooth. I replaced the gear with one off of another starter with a broken nose cone and reinstalled the starter in my truck. The first time I started it it sounded fine and fired right up. I then turned it off, and tried to start it again, same thing as before. Do you guys have any suggestions on what it could be and what I can do to remedy this? Thanks in advance for your help.
