I drive my F150 on the beach for fishing purposes. My problem is my starter is picking up sand and causing it to fail. Does anyone have anything to say about eliminating this problem? I'm om my third starer in two years. Other F150 owners in my group don't have this problem.

There should be a dust shield down there that will protect the flywheel and the starter. Is yours missing or have gaps?

The shield is in place.
