Hey yall, not long ago I asked for info for installing the shims for my starter. I had someone put a brand new starter on my truck, not long after I got it back it was making that horrible grinding noise. I got the shims and today I dropped the starter, as I suspected, no shims were installed with the starter. but, when I got the starter down where I could see it, I see what looks like a big crack in it. Im not real familiar with the starter, fact is I havent touched my truck in almost 3 years. can someone tell me if this starter is toast or ?

Thank You!
