    Question dying starter

    I've noticed that my engine doesn't turn over right away. So, I was wondering if anyone's starter went out:
    What were the symtoms?
    About what mileage?

    anyone know how long I should expect it to last?

    thanks!

    Starters can fail just about anytime, although the solenoid is the usual culprit. A rebuild is about $30 at a good shop. You can remove it in the morning, drop it off for rebuild and have it back in time for an afternoon re-install. Are you sure it isn't the battery? You can go to an AutoZone, PepBoys or similar and they'll do a free diagnostic. If it's the battery get an Optima Red Top and worry no more! ;Dr;

    If it's not an Optima get it checked anyway, that way they can check your alternator output and also see how much current your starter is drawing.

    it's not really a problem yet.
    i'm just trying to get ahead of it before it really becomes a problem and leaves me stranded somewhere.

    Saw a couple on ebay, but they are listed for trooper etc. and I'm not sure that they are a number for number interchange.
