DB Electrical makes good things that last. Go for it.

OEM new, I agree.

NEW MotorCraft should be as good.

Reman? Not so much.

I bet that starter is made in CHINA. No way USA new starter is priced at 55 dollars.

as long as the gear drive and stator and such are all good, a set of brushes and a solenoid will make it good as new.
