Bad luck
My truck just was finished being painted after about 3 1/2 months in the paint shop. I went down to the shop this last friday to pick it up and when the shop owner tried to start it the starter exploded and bent the flywheel. This was a brand new motor, rebuild transmition, new starter, new flywheel, new everything...... and only had 500 miles on the new engine before I took it in for the paint job and the ower of the paint shop said that it started ever time he tried until I tried to take it home!......... My local chevy dealer replaced the starter with a new one as well as the flywheel, but i have to tow it to the shop to have my machanic install the new parts which I am sure will cost. Oh well, maybe next weekend.
