I have the original starter I removed from my 92 F250 to install a DB Electrical. It was working, but cranking real slow. Anybody rebuild them successfully? Should I hold onto it or scrap it?

Correct. Iirc, white lithium is recommended.You can totally screw up a starter with grease FYI
Check it anyway, though. It's possible to get smoke and flames out of the solenoid, and that's not counting smoke from all the oil deposited on the starter from years of (ab)use.If you let the smoke out of a starter no need to rebuild it. Smoke means the coils or armature is burned up.
Just have to figure out how to repack the smoke.If you let the smoke out of a starter no need to rebuild it. Smoke means the coils or armature is burned up.
