starter issue

I have ongoing starter issues. First replaced starter(with bracket). Starter failed. Replaced again with heavy duty rebuilt(vendor does 100's of these and this has helped in some severe use cases). Then bolts came loose(new bolts used with installs). Found bad spot on flywheel(maybe from loose starter and customer waiting to report). Replaced flywheel and starter. Truck ran good for two months and now customer reports noisy starter. Keyswitch was checked prior to first starter replaced for anti restart, ok. Vendor reported some GM motor have fuel issue which causes kickback. Any ideas?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
