Starter Issue!

[Cowboy1985]

Hello everyone...
My starter turns the engine over slowly to start with , but as i crank it goes faster and faster... even when engine is hot, so no oil issue, and gp's all goood, and brand new batteries and alternator..
I think its the starter wich is beginning to fail.. this starter has been in 2 trucks... and went along on over 400000km, so I have reason to beilive that it's about to fail...
And then I wonder if any of you have tried the hi-torque starter ?
I found one on ebay for about 150 bucks included shipping to norway!?
Is it worth going for ?

Ain't the internet awesome? As long as the new starter is a "Gear reduction" unit like a Mitsu or Nippondenso it'll be great. And for that price, shipped to you, it's a steal. Your engine will be happy, and like a woman, if she's happy, you're happy [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]OkieGringo

the gear reduction starter is one of the best things you can put on your truck. I have used both nippo and mitsu, you can't go wrong with either.

So the original starter, wich is a mitsu, is a gear reduction starter ? I really did not know that!

The OEM starter I took out of my truck was an AC Delco and it was NOT a gear reduction unit [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]. OkieGringo
