Went to fire it up this morning and click, just a single click. Battery is less than a year old, so I figured it couldn’t be that, plus all lights came on. Grabbed a hammer and whacked the starter a couple times and it fired right up.
Little disappointed that it did this at only 109k miles.
So which starter to buy. I don’t really care where it comes from, looking for a good piece, and will pay for it but not waste fully. I’m not seeing the Mopar as an option based on cost, $300-350, unless there’s a really good reason for it.
I’m aiming to do this Saturday. Hopefully it’ll last til then and I’m keeping a hammer in the truck for the time being. It’ll definitely only get drive to work duty. Replacement looks really easy based on AllData, .9 warranty hrs.
I’m seeing these options: (after core return costs listed)
Advance
Carquest reman - $134
Carquest new - $200
Bosch reman - $234 (need to ship)
Auto Zone
Duralast reman - $142
Duralast gold new - $219
Total pro - $114
Rock Auto
See pic (core charges may be more important here)
Thoughts?
