OK, I reminded myself why I bought a Schumks starter. I called the local dealer (MB)in Spokane today and I am sure I did way back when I first needed a starter. $528 MB dealer, Shumks about $100 lifetime. Yep, they suck, but I will not fork out $528. they suck at alternators too. Max
Well Max ;
Me , I prefer to fix things once and right , I replaced the starter in Tom's 1981 300SD a few years ago , we bought one from the local NAPA store and it came with the all important NEW solenoid .
No further troubles with it .
Co$t about $150 IIRC .
FWIW , I used to be a BOSCH ReMan Dealer and they often stick brandy new units in the rebuilt boxes .
Lifetime warranty is worthless if you have to use it more than once due to low quality product .
