    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.

    Unlike the alternators, the OEM starters are good units (cheap/easy to rebuild). If one isn't toast, it makes an excellent backup (and you can eventually sell it to one of those purists you keep hearing about ;-)

    It works, but since I have it off I think I'll replace it.

    Between the car, the tools I've been buying, a spare engine, and all the stuff [like this starter] I'm shelving......I'm going to need a bigger garage.

    Starter: 9 vs. 10 teeth

    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.)

    Hasn't proven to be an issue, the teeth are the same size.

    It would just make the starting RPM 10% higher. I have had the Eagle starter for many years with no problems. I even ran a current test way back when I installed it. Think it was drawing about 150 amps.

    Update On My Eagle Starter

    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!
