Starter motor Bosch or VALEO

I installed the starter, which was apparently the upgrade and Bosch has since reverted back to the "old style" with the support dowel. Everything starting-wise is working great

Stick with Bosch if possible, get the autostick (SR17X) starter and eliminate bushing issues.

I am now getting a Bosch from Rockauto for 25% less than the AC Delco starter from Amazon. Bosch sold me with 24 month roadside towing if the starter leaves me stranded during that time.

I actually replaced the starter less than a year ago with a brand new (not a remanufactured) Bosch; hopefully its not the starter.

Bosch is also not a bad name starter to buy from something like rockauto.

Bosch is just fine. I replaced my starter with a Bosch reman a few years ago, still working flawlessly.

This is 100% your starter motor. The solenoid isn't pulling the starter motor gear off the flywheel fast enough so it grinds. Gets worse in colder weather. The fix is a new starter motor

I changed the starter motor for a Bosch starter in April 24 but after a few months the issue came back.

i bought a britpart 2,25 starter as it was oem. The starter was branded Bosch but it lasted a week and it drew 600A and turned over slow.

So I sent it on a nice Bosch one. That lasted 3 months and just failed today.
