I really like that starter. The weight difference and the sound it makes too. Thing is, my oem starter works fine so I don't need to replace it ... yet.

Is there reason for any concern when switching to the Eagle starter with regard to the number of teeth on the gear? (The OEM Paris Rhome starter has 9 teeth and the Eagle starter has 10 teeth.)

I installed my eagle starter back in August of 2012. In October of 2015 (Day after Back to the Future Day), I went to start my car and i would get just the solenoid clicking. After a few turns the car started. The issue would come and go. On several occasions, I would have to take a hammer to the starter, and give it a whack. Earlier this week, it finally died. I couldn't get the starter to engage anymore. Since I bought it at AutoZone, they replaced it under their Lifetime Warranty policy. It tested bad, and I got a replacement the next day. I even got a small refund because the cost of the starter had decreased since the time I had originally boughten it. I just hope AutoZone keeps this part in their innovatory system. I can't imagine there are many Eagle Premiers or Dodge Monacos running around anymore.

Chris it's hard to beat Autozone's warranty. Even if the part lasts only three years, it provides peace of mind knowing that one small part of the car now costs less to enjoy.
I offer my upper mounting bracket as an easy way to convert to Autozone's lifetime-guaranteed alternator, but it seems like most owners don't see the value. One example from an eBay buyer:
"I like your product but it is difficult to spend $50 on something that is not currently broke on a car I almost never drive."
Maybe we would drive these cars more often if more components were backed by a lifetime warranty? Catch-22!
