[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1000815, member: 61136"] The bigest killer of a starter are weak batteries. Have your battery checked. It might be borderline. You can have a weak battery and not know it. Especialy with newer FI motors that start quikly on first crank. After that the altenator is feeding plenty of juice. So you dont realize the battery is bad. Next is dont buy rebuilt starters. They only repair what is wrong and clean and paint. Remanufactored starters, have every thing replaced. Except the armature, unless it is bad. The armature gets tested thourly and the windings painted and baked. Next is the $$ for brand new. I always buy remanufactored. Unless I find it is somthing I can fix. Brushes, solenoid, etc. I tear down starters and altenators before I decide what to do. [/QUOTE]
