I would definetly recommend buying a lifetime starter, well worth them $ in the long run. It has been my experience doing up used vehicles, if you want to have less trouble in the long term, you gonna have to fork over quite a bit of money up front.

Little story why I am like that now. I rebuilt the engine in my 67 Ford F250. Needed a new starter so I bought a rebuilt one for $65. The rebuilt one was broke before I put it in, I don't think they ever tested it before selling it. When I took it back they wanted to do some tests and so on. I was so mad and frustrated I used that hunk o junk as a core on a lifetime one that was $135 at Shucks. That was about 10 years ago and I still use it. Of course yours will be more since it is for a diesel. Napa is usually more but usually have a better product often times made in the U.S.

BTW, you may be overwhelmed now but soon enough you will be quite familure with your truck and happy. My first diesel was a 97 PSD, I still miss it sometimes.
