flex plate troubles.

[1tonchevy]

So lately my truck has not been having luck with starters. burned one up,grinds etc. yesterday i jumped into the old beast and when i went to start it it made a girding noise. but started. went to pay some bills came out and the starter did it's thing but sounded like it wasn't "meshing" to the flex plate after 5-7 trys finally cought and i brought it home and parked it, only thing i can come up with is my flex plat is frigged. the starter is a brand new high torque with off set mounting holes.


someone please help loosing my mind with this.
