Re: New 'lifetime warranty' starter from O'reilly is junk

We usually rebuild our own starters and alternators also. Sometimes they are too bad to fix, then we have run the cheaper line of NAPA rebuilts. They have several grades, the more expensive line is supposed to be better, but we've had no problems yet, with even the cheaper ones. I don't think NAPA is any worse nor any better that any other parts house.

We are lucky to have a local electric motor service, that may be the best place to to get something rebuilt if you have one close.
