good deal on a STARTER(so far) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My Blazer's starter finally failed at a gas station the other night, hadn't sounded very good for a while. I looked on the TEAM CHEVELLE site and saw several recommendations for the little mini starter from www.dbelectrical.com. $48 no tax no shipping. Nice looking little starter brand new no label or markings on it. Bolted it in last night -- STARTS GOOD, SOUNDS GOOD!! Low compression 454 engine's not hard to turn, we'll see how long it lasts. I'll give it a week or so and buy one for the GMC, it turns crappy when it's hot.
