I put a new starter on my truck. It started a few times and then it quit starting. And I could not stop the starter drive from striking the flywheel no matter how I shimmed it. Could it be the ignition switch on the base of the column.

Did you examine the flywheel? The teeth are good, no cracks on the flywheel/flexplate anywhere? Was it the proper starter? It's hard for me to tell much without being able to look at it.
