starter options

My starter is starting to crap the bed and i was wondering if any of you folx knew of any "upgrades"?
I realize this is an O.E. section, but thought that if anyone had noticed
that the starters for an 89 were interchangeable with a newer year model you could offer me some pointers.

89
4.0
auto
Anyone??

I've had a Mean Green starter in my '88 for 6 years with no problems whatsoever...

including Chicago winters parked outside...

pricey but it's worth it.

My stock starter went 210k, don't think you can ask for more.
Definite waste of money putting a Mean Green on a stock engine.

I wouldn't consider quality materials, beautiful workmanship and improved design a "waste of money"...

"tornado" intakes...

MPG magnets...

anything chrome

are all wastes of money...

Do you base your opinion on actual experiences with an MG starter or just because your oem lasted that long?

I've had an oem fail at 90k miles, what does that mean?

You lucked out and got a good one.
