Here's a slight twist. This starter is a Napa Power Supreme which carries a lifetime warranty. But no receipt, no warranty. Guy says he needs proof of purchase. I said, it says NAPA on it! Lol. Ugh

It is! Well I bought this truck off my old boss. Called him and he found the receipt, so I'm hoping to manage new batteries and a starter all under warranty!

That's what I'm thinking Gabe. Looks like this truck won't be parked for the winter after all. Better go get my front driveshaft cut soon!

Got the new starter in today, full warranty from Napa. For you kids keeping score at home, 2 new Optimas and a new starter under warranty. Thank the good lord as money is tight! She turns over better than ever now!

Yes she will Rick!
She really amazes me how well it runs/pulls for a 17 yr old truck. Guy that I used to work with and I picked up my old bosses skid loader and a bunch of tools to start a job Monday, well he will be starting it. Lol. He hasn't been in the truck since I did sticks and the ZF. I'm guessing we were pulling a little over 11k and it just flat out gets after it. Now, like I was saying in someone else's thread, I really have to keep an eye on boost/EGT's and I can't use ALL the power, but it hustles. Even without the intercooler, I'm limited by keeping the boost down before EGT's get too high. In most cases. I absolutely love towing with this ZF as well. Except for the 45 min stand still traffic we hit on the way home. Lol
