Ok my flywheel teeth are shot (23 attempts to start yesterday before the starter finally "caught"), and now I have torn up two starters (OEM and an aftermarket replacement).
I have to upgrade the flywheel now, is it worth getting
an ATS Flywheel/Flexplate (http://www.atsdiesel.com/atswebsite/ProductsGM/BIlletFlexPlate.asp) or something similar or would there be little to no advantage to that vs the OEM replacement.
Cost: ATS = ~$800
OEM = ~$300
ATS is a single billet so strength is obviously improved vs the cast OEM. Wade from ATS said there is no weight difference between the two either, which is unfortunate as that would have made me lean a little more towards ATS.
Anyone else know something I don't, or have any experiences??? Anyone hurt their OEM flywheel / flexplate with big hp/torque that upgraded or replaced it?
