And i did install he sleeve. ..but i don't know if or how to make sure i tightened it well..i assume that the snap ring that goes on last would not fit if anything was loose..
Ok. Do this.
Put the truck on the starter box as usual. This time when you attempt to start it pay attention to the clip on the end of the crank.
Does it spin when you atempt to start it?
No? Collet is worn or collet is loose.
