Out with the old...In with the new :-)

20 mins later and my temp fix starter switched to a brand new after market one.....anyone think it will last 18 years like the original one did?
Ha probably not but at least it's working now. Personally, I stick with OE Mopar replacement parts for mission-critical parts like that. If it's a radiator, starter, water pump, etc. I won't use aftermarket parts. Especially not store-brands from places like Autozone.

Maybe, I had an AutoZone starter last nearly 24 hours. It did fail in a spectacular fashion by staying running - though not engaged to the flywheel and no key in the ignition. It stayed running until I found a wrench for the battery terminal. I love the smell of burnt brushes in the morning.
I hope yours lasts another 18!

Yeah, I just replaced mine on my '01 and it looked pretty damn grimy; probably the original. Doubt the new one I installed from Pep Boys will last that long, Jeep probably won't either regardless lol.

X2 on that, the thing about learning from experience is you get the tests before the lessons. I have learned the hard way either OEM or Delco.Ha probably not but at least it's working now.
