I have a powermaster. I thought at first I might have burned it out but i never cranked on it for more than 10 seconds at time.
I took a couple days off to clear the mind and I swear that helps when you go back to working on these darn ol trucks. Turns out my battery was starting to lose juice.. I tested it and it was only pulling 10 Volts... Plugged it into a charger last night and will get back after it today.
It makes sense because the starter was cranking and disengaging from the flywheel with no problems when I first installed it without using shims..

The only thing about a stock starter is that I have a higher comp motor and from what I've read I'll end up burning a stock starter out really quick
