XDP HD Gear Reduction Starter (New) Wrinkle Black XD255

So I’ve owned this starter for about 8 months. It has performed flawlessly. I recently did some upgrades to the truck and had a copper crush washer for injector #2 fail along with the O-ring above it. This happened to my wife 2 days after the upgrades, a big puff of white smoke truck dies. She tries to restart it and it will not turn over. Assume it’s Hydro-locked! Pull the injectors and glow plugs to drain it. Still won't turn over, Now it probably bent a connecting rod! Tear down the driver’s side of the motor to the block. Still won’t turn over. Pull Oil pan and bed pan. Everything looks Perfect. Now there was a little bluing on the main cap journal at Cylinders 6-7. Maybe a Bad Main bearing, that would be a really bad bearing with Zero signs to seize the motor. So figured I would have to Pull the motor and do a complete teardown. Started with this HEAVY DUTY Starter that has worked flawlessly up to this point, to find out the case around the starter gear had shattered and was now caught between the starter and flywheel holding the engine from moving in any direction. I have NEVER had a starter fail in this manner. I can't say I've ever known of anyone having basically a large piece of the housing around the nose of the starter break off. The indexing tip was still there, Just part of the housing around it broke off.
