I have a 1993 Explorer Sport, 5spd 4x4. About two weeks ago my starter went out, and i had to push start her to get her home. i bought a remanned starter from Advance, and put it in. When i took the old starter out, the haress holding the battery cable up beneath the oil pan snapped. Finished taking it out, cleaned up the contacts on the cables with a wire brush, reconnected the cables ot the new starter, and put it in. There were no shims, and i haven't read anything about needing them. But now, when the truck is running the starter is making a grinding noise that almost sounds like bad static on a tv or radio. I wasn't sure what it was, so i drove it a few times and then the starter stopped turning the motor over and just whirred. So i removed the starter again, checked the flywheel and connections etc, put it back on. Turned the key a few times and on the 3rd or 4th try it started. Same sound, but now its not quite as bad as it was. It seems like the starter isnt disengaging, but i dont know why. Should i exchange the starter, or coud i have maybe done something wrong in putting it in? I'm at a loss right now.
