$20?!? that's not even an hours wage! For how many hours it'll take me to build one when I can, I may as well check it out, if I have to, I guess...

well crap... 8hrs of my day wasted for nothing... Whee I got a fairly good shape O2 sensor (free), and a new oil cap. 28 vehicles checked 25 already had the Starter removed, and 3 were in worse shape than the one that died... PAP wants $25 + core charge. I can get a new one for $133. I'll find out 2morrow how much to get mine rebuilt.

Hey Vinford, how long have you lived in the puddle. I kind of grew up there. I was there from 75-93. My parents and my sister still are there.

Parents are retired now. My dad owned Dunrite upholstery. He sometimes does work for Stampede Glass. My mom works part time at the library. My brother in law manages the Praxair.

Yeah... apparently our guy that rebuilds them charges $120 to $150 p/unit... I just laughed... I'll have to pull it apart and see if it is just the brushes.
