I read the write-up on replacing the starter for a DI... anything different about replacing it on a DII?


Background on problem:
My trusty DII wouldn't start on Saturday. I checked wires, used my multimeter to check the battery voltage and starter connections... all checked out. Hit the starter with a hammer, no luck. No luck starting from neutral. I figured the starter was shot.

I had it towed to a shop and this morning they tell me it is indeed the starter and they could replace it for $525... needless to say I've had it towed to my driveway and am about to replace it myself with a $95 starter from AutoZone (fyi they were the only place that didn't have to order one for me--tried O'Reilly and Advance--a first for my local Advance locations).

 

I'd go ahead and order one of the Denso starters to keep on hand for with the Autozone "reman" craps out on you.
