[QUOTE="Dave_Nevada, post: 1500572, member: 29749"] [b]Starter took a dump[/b] Wow. My luck lately hasn't been so good. Blasted starter simply rolled over and stuck its legs in the air. I've been reading about numerous complaints in regard to the aftermarket replacement starters- no thanks. Utter waste of good money. So here we go again. I will pull an old one apart (I have laying around from my old 95) and rebuild it. It's the OEM Mitsubishi (Made In Japan) type, not the Commie Joe pile of quivering steamy puppy crap. A common complaint about Commie Joe stuff is that it regularly fails within a year. What those idiots don't get is I don't care how cheap they sell them, I need long term reliability. If you live in Northern Nevada like I do, getting stuck from a bad starter out in some of the desolate places I travel can be life threatening. So yeah, I put a premium on reliability. I will document (as usual) along the way and show through pictures and text what I did. These things aren't that tough to do, and you can save yourself some real future grief by doing it yourself. If you're cheap and stupid, buy the Commie Joe stuff. Good luck with that, when they fail, it will ALWAYS make you wish you spent a few bucks more when you had it out the first time. Funny, I watch dudes spend gobs of cash on wheels, but go squeaky arse cheap on quality parts. :shrug: I just don't get it. Pay me now, pay me MORE later. After I rebuild one starter, I'll do a spare rebuild and keep it in the truck tool box. I'm not kidding when I say "I really need reliability." [/QUOTE]
