I just installed this starter in my 2004 Chevy Suburban about a month ago, and so far, it has worked flawlessly. It was a perfect replacement for the original starter that was in my vehicle. I believe it has a little more starting power than the original starter it replaced. I can't vouch for the longevity since it hasn't been installed for very long, but I would not hesitate to use this brand of starter on any other vehicle. Priced at a much more reasonable price and completely brand new. So far, very pleased with the purchase.

Starter was delivered on time, I was a lil disapointed because it did not come in a factory box, but rather in just a plain white box in not great looking condition, altho when i opened the tattered box, was a nice shinny new looking well built starter, installed 2/20/20, will update if any issues, the temp here is below 0, new starter has been working all day in the cold, great price for a decent starter.

Like I said, 5 months in and still working. Keep in mind I don't use this truck often. This is by no means an OEM equivalent or even close, and I must admit I only went this route because I'm a flat broke musician and the covid 19 has wiped out my events calendar. I didn't have a good enough jack to raise this truck very high and what height I did gain, I didn't trust the stand and left the wheel on and pretty much did everything from the side so-as not to get my brains crushed if the jack failed. I eventually did get it on though and did I say it was a bitch? I had to reach so far and hold the starter for such a long time my shoulder and elbow suffered from some sorta tendon related issue that lingered for several weeks. Fortunately my gigs were all canceled and I didn't have to perform like that. One thing I hate to say and this is HUGE the starter will not sound anything like what you are used to, in-face this starter sounds like something that will fly apart and leave me stranded at the first most inconvenient moment. I feel this is worth taking a star off because like I said I don't use this truck much right now, but when I do again, I'm going to be listening very close because it has a swish swish swish sound instead of a arrre arre arre sound if that makes any sense

So far so good. Looks just like original on 2004 Chevy Silverado. Spins the motor over quicker than I ever remember original starter doing.

Hello ppl steer clear of this starter better off at an AutoZone or oriellys for this starter I received it Dec 31st put it in the same day ran great just four days ago I went on a road trip everything was fine started perfectly drove home perfectly fine parked it and turned the truck off come back out to start it it would not start nothing with the starter it would not engage so I took it out and went to AutoZone 15 minutes later come back and told it failed figured spent 200+ on a more quality built starter. I contacted Amazon told them this item failed amazon refuses to help and tell me it's past the time frame and to contact the manufacturer I'm quite frustrated and pissed off

Been about a month and it is still going strong. This was definitely not the same quality as the one from the auto parts store, but it was more than 60% less money. I would definitely buy it again. I would like to say that many reviews note that it includes only one installation bolt, and not the two required. This is true, but the reason is because only one of the holes on the starter is smaller than the old installation bolts. So only one new one is needed for a perfect fit. Definitely no need to drill out the starter hole to allow the old bolt.

Very good product

Alot cheaper than even jobber price at our local parts house....and didn't have a core charge. Bolted it up, It has been about 0 to 5 degrees the past week every morning at start up time, and it sounds like it spins the engine at the same speed as when its 70 degrees. I am impressed. We will see if it stands up over time but for right now I gotta say it was a great buy.

Great item and great price, Bolted on my 2003 Chevy Silverado 4.8L without issues. Have been using it for a few months and this starter turns my engine over much harder than the factory.

Works very well so far. Good price point also!

I like how will it fit

Starter in the description looked exactly the same as old one. Also said it would fit my vehicle. When delivered it did not look the same, the mounting holes were off. The casing wasn't the same. Spent half a day trying to install something that was never going to fit!!! Now going to miss a full days pay getting and installing the proper one. I actually should have given no stars.

Fit great and so far works great on my 03 Chevy Silverado with 4.8l engine
