whose starter was it that went bad so soon?

[568charlie]

thanks for the little welcome sixo and the starter i had rebuilt at a shop here in town i was short on cash at that time he wanted 60 to rebuild it or 130 for a new so i had him rebuild it but i bought a new one today with a lifetime warranty for 136 bucks so were good now glad to hear my 6.0s voice again only found one more problem while i walked around it my plates expired haha just my luck thanks guys

Thats wierd, I was thinkin of having mine rebuilt so i know where it stands. No kind of warranty through the rebuild? Where did you find one brand new with a lifetime warranty?

[568charlie]

ya rebuilds not the way to go checker or its called oriley had it with the warranty i was surprised

My brother was wrenching for a guy at one point who swore on rebuid and had better luck than using reman because better parts were used. But if You go Brand New with lifetime warranty then hell yeah. Too bad there is no o-reillys round here
