Which Starter to buy
Hi. 86 6.9 4x4
I need to get a starter. My question is which one is better.
Autozone-Duralast $139.99 Remanufactured
Advance Auto-Worldwide $134.48 Remanufactured
Or one bought online
Mitsubishi OSGR 12 Volt, CW, 13-Tooth Pinion 100$ New
One of my concerns would be how the warranty stuff works. It would definitely be easier from autozone or advance auto to return if something goes wrong. But if the mitsubishi one is better and for 35 bucks less idk. Also with the mitsubishi one there is no core which means I could hold onto my current starter which does work just not the way it should.

A new Mitsubishi with no core for 100 dollars.....OK.
Mitsubshi 3.6 KW OSGR starter new at Advance Auto is 465.99
Retail is 626.98.
Advances reman Mitsubishi starter is 270.99
That Worldwide starter does not say Mitsubishi anywhere.

I bought the high torque Hitachi at the local NAPA out where I live for $169.00 with a 5 year warranty. I prefer NAPA for parts especially for my trucks as I had some bad luck with Schucks, Advanced, Pepboys. I bought a new fuel pump relay from Advanced and it welded the primary contacts and pumped 16 gallons of gas into the engine after I shut it off, filled the crankcase and it was running out the air filter. I've used O'Reily's with good luck though.
