Starter and ring gear - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

77K20 · 08-18-2005, 03:00 AM

I have a 77 K20, 350 with a 4-speed. A while back my truck started giving me starting issues. There were no signs or anything leading up to the problem, it just started. Anyway, things got progressively worse, and now I need a new ring gear cuz mine has a few teeth chewed up, maybe even more then a few. Anyway, where can I find a new ring gear of good quality and good price? Also, what can I do to avoid having the same problems? I tried shims, I tried new starter bolts, I just don't know what to do. Any advice would be greaty appreciated.

Also, any tips on replacing the ring gear with ease?
