Brown brought me a package.....

....my new DB starter!
I hope it's as good as everyone claims....$125 for theirs+ $25 shipping vs the +$200 for those "Remy" pieces of crap....

DAY-UM! That DB is BEEG!

Mine has been getting progressivly slower as of late and I attribute that not only to age but the leaking lift pump I replaced last month.....the starter got so bad that it felt like it was dragging the bottoms out of the recently new 1050 CCA batteries ......dropped the starter and found alot of grime attached to the fuel mist...

Dis-assembled the starter -after ordering the DB- in hopes of being able to get it thru a few more days-- the commutator was black as well as the windings...douched out in parts tank and with 3 cans of brake kleen, emery clothed the commutator and greased up the planetaries.

It has held since Sat

so will it be easier to install?

 

[geonc]

Install was quite painless Only modification was to straighten out the hot cable--stock is bent to a 90 degree end with a lock pin---just nip the pin and use a pair of pliers and screwdriver to straighten out

Does it perform?

OH HELL YES!!!!!

It sounds and feels twice as fast

Need a starter?......there is no other to consider!

WOW - I thought the other one was smaller. Now I regret getting the smaller one....

Is it still holding up?
The website says it's out of stock.

DB has gone downhill with these starters the past few years...they are now being built in China, and the quality just isn't there apparently....my DB is going strong on year 5...built in the USA

Dang that sucks. I don't currently need A starter, just thought it'd be nice to get one of those if problems did arise.
