lol, oops! 
Thanks for the correction!
Never been a big Corona fan and I had a bad Tecate experience once (that was enough), but Negra Modelo tastes great! But then, I like ambers and porters best. Alaskan Amber lands in my fridge pretty often. I'd take suggestions for others...
Oh, and my Denso starter is still doing great. There, I said something on-topic.

The new starter works great. Left the truck sitting in the cold all day at work - about 40* for 11 hrs - fired right up instantly. Hopefully this starter will last a lot longer than 2 years. The Motorcraft 903SA was a direct bolt in - two bolts instead of the three on the original. I put the third bolt into the unused hole as a back up in case anything comes loose and I lose one. I did use blue loctite on the lower bolt that is easily accessible to help hold things tight now that I am only using two bolts to hold the starter in. The only modification I had to do was slightly ream the small starter wire to accommodate the larger stud on the solenoid.
After all the research I have done I would recommend replacing your starter with one of the following: Motorcraft 903SA, true Nippondenso High Torque or Mean Green starter. Anything made in China should be avoided.

Yah, my DB luckily died at 10-11 months. DB refunded me 80%. I had to argue my case, though. They simply wanted to send another Chinese starter.
No thanks. I saw one for sale here on CL for a year. Some poor guy just trying to get his money back.
Well said. That's about the summation of my research, too. I gotta say though, that it's becoming kind of a sad game to keep Chinese parts out of the truck.

I gotta say it has become a really difficult game to keep Chinese products out of the home, shop, and truck, PERIOD!
