So how many starters has your truck killed?

OK...I'll try and stick to the subject this time.
Had this truck about a year and immediately
replaced the starter after I got it. I thought
it made too much noise. The "new" starter
from AutoZone was just as noisy. By noisy I
don't mean grinding...its just louder than I
thought it should be.

On the heat issue...The exhaust pipe passes
within about 1.5 inches of the starter now
that I have "adjusted" it, since I put in
new brake lines. I thought that having the
exhaust in contact with my new brake line
would probably be a bad idea.(Duh!) I'll
see if I start having starting problems.
