Right on, thanks for the numbers, I guess I'll hold out and hopefully get the hesitation before a catastrophic failure.

I looked around, but couldn't find anything about how long our OEM starters last, and I want to replace it prior to being 45 miles down a wilderness road in 18" of snow. Anyone know about how many miles theirs failed at, if at all? Thanks for any input! |

If you maintain your KJ,IE keeping the under carriage clean,it should last as long as the engine does if not longer.Granted if you do a lot of short trips with constant hot restarts or extreme cold weather starts(0 degrees and colder) it will shorten the starters life span. |

Alright, thanks. I'm thinking at 165k that I'll rebuild or replace it in the near future. Who knows how much abuse the PO's gave it. |

I think a bigger problem would the getting the computer to tell the starter to work.. but the starter is used a lot..the selinoid throw won't make the contacts work or the brushes will fail.. but that going to take a long time. or lots of starts..long cranking starts.. there are other things to loose sleep over..nah I won't list them.. I need my wife jeep to stay running..  just my thoughts -dkenny |
