where to buy a quality starter
Hello everyone,
1989, v2500, 5.7, 400t My starter still sounds horrible and I have run out of energy fooling with it. I purchased one from autozone, replaced it, and replaced it again. Yes i know most if not all parts from these stores are junk. I used to buy Napa but their stuff seems more junky than most. Does anyone have a recommendation where I can purchase a new starter. I do not need a high torque but do not mind spending the money if someone has firsthand knowledge of them. I see a few from summit but I have never used one myself. Not sure if the dealer is the answer either? My flywheel is in great shape. "Just installed a new hughes converter" The latest starter is a duralast new manufactured. It measure .059 with zero shims. installed .025 shim and made zero difference in sound I know the chevy starters can be finicky, but on all my other chevys over the years, none were like this. Thank you, Chris |

Power master makes a seriously good starter for the money. I have them on my trucks and they are a good replacement for the big monsters that GM sells.
