Had a starter motor blow up on a 6.7 Cummins in a truck stop lot in Ohio
It threw the bendix right through the housing and sprayed metal everywhere, has anyone else seen a starter grenade like that on a highway job?

Buddy of mine had a starter let go on his 6.7 in a parking lot outside Nashville. It sounded like someone fired a shotgun under the hood. He said the bendix came clean off and punched a hole right through the starter housing. Sprayed shrapnel all over his fan and radiator. He was stuck there for two days waiting on parts. I’d say your story is more common than people want to admit, especially on those older high-mileage trucks.
