Was just at NAPA asking about the price of new starters, they offer a Bosch starter for a 4.0. I was wondering if anyone has tried one of these and how it has has held up. The Bosch is $30 cheaper.
Thanks in advance

Bosch is some of the best stuff out there.New (Bosch) is extremely expensive,rebuilt (Bosch) is about 1/3 the price.

I just put one in my '88. Cost $110 at Pep Boys and has a lifetime warranty. They had a cheaper one for $90 with a 1 year warranty.

You'll usually get what you pay for, with some exceptions.

Bosch has always been good to me, but a bit spendy (I'd hate to tell you what I pay for remans at my local shop...) However, if someone specified Bosch for replacement electrical parts, I won't try to talk them out of it.
