2012 M1097A2 starter

[New Level]

Just purchased and the starter, at least I hope it’s the starter and not the fly wheel, is bad.
Best place to purchase and does anyone know the part number by chance.
Looked at install online and it looks like a PITA to replace.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Starter engages but just a loud whining noise. Sounds like all the teeth are missing or gone.

If it is the starter you would likely be better off having a starter shop rebuild it.
You need to pull the flywheel cover and see what is going on.
Also numbers 2920-01-168-7891 and MFY-6701UT come up, as far as I know all HMMWV starters are interchangeable

Thank you very much for your help!

Removing the small cover at the nose of the starter I think will provide all the bad news you seek. Starter spins but doesn't engage, starter comes out. Missing teeth on the flywheel, flywheel comes out. Flex plate actually, before someone corrects me.

Won’t be back with the vehicle until next weekend. That info helped a lot. I’ll look at that first.

Welcome to the forum! Hopefully all your going to need is a new Bendix gear. Still a PITA to change but infinitely less than a complete starter or a flywheel. $25 vs a couple hundred.

Sent a buddy to go move the Humvee to a better spot in my yard…..he figured he would try and start it. It started first try and he repeated it four times and it started immediately without any hesitation all five times.
thoughts?

Found out how he fixed it….starter bolt broke
Replaced and started right up
Thanks again to all for your replies
