What Brand starter should I buy???


Recommended Posts

When my starter was acting up late last year I went to a local rebuilder and got a locally rebuilt starter.  Then returned the old core for my core deposit.  Yes the starter works fine.

 

You should be able to find a local rebuilder in Las Vegas or Henderson.  At least then you know who did the rebuild.  Can not say that about a starter from the local Auto Zone, etc.

I just (today) put a new (not rebuilt) Bosch starter in my MJ, although the decision was based on calling the parts supplier my workplace uses to see if they had anything in stock and could deliver it to my workplace, and that was what they had.

It seems to work. I mean, it started the MJ ten times or so.

But it's still only been in there seven hours at this point. It cranks over a lot faster than the other one, but that thing was trashed. I'm surprised it didn't give me trouble earlier. There was almost a 1/4" play in the drive shaft, and it struggled to push the drive gear out. When I hit the key yesterday before work it just spun the starter, not the engine. I suppose it didn't help anything it looks like this:

One advantage to the Bosch 100% new one is it comes with a lifetime warranty and also roadside assistance (i.e a free tow) within two years of purchase if it ever fails. For whatever that means. I was surprised at that. It also came with install instructions which were so generic to any starter (or any other part for that matter) that it was good for a couple chuckles.
