When i bought my truck about 3 years ago, it had a autozone starter on it. It went out, and i found a recepit in the glovebox and got it replaced for free. Then it went out again, and i bought an O'Reilly's starter. Then, one day while tightening it down after removing it, the allumium nosecone broke on it. I got it replaced under warranty. So, i've had 3 starter failures in 3 years. This one seems to be doing OK though. I ALWAYS get lifetime warranty parts when i buy "remanufactured" stuff from the parts store, because it usually goes out, and they are usually good about honoring the warranty
