Yep, I bought & installed the brace (the truck came to me without one). The shop guy even commented on the truck's starter actually having one (and how it makes it a pain to remove/install the starter).

I am 99% the nose didn't have any stampings on it. Assuming this is a problem, it is a shame because I made it a point to get a ACDelco Gold Starter but I suppose that doesn't really mean anything these days.

I'm on the fence about the flexplate and the main reason why I took it to a shop. Though the guy say the flexplate should be okay but should isn't any guarantee.

Which brings up, what do you know about the flexplate teeth: 168 or 153?
