I had been wanting to replace my starter for the past year or so due to it being too loud and sounding like some bearings were worn. I decided last week that I was going to replace it before OCBR cause it would suck to have my starter fail on the trail. I ordered the starter last week and it came in Saturday, starter died Sunday. I was off today and had that on the schedule for this morning. Last night I went to friends for some BBQ and football and when I went to leave, "click, click" was all I got whein I turned the key. My friend only lives right down the road, so I walked home smiling last night cause I could not think of a more perfect time for the starter to bite the dust. "8 hours before I was going to replace it" LOL. I left my house at 11:20 and am back home by 12:10. Replacement went great and holy crap this thing starts the Bronco so fast and is twice as quiet. And to all of you sissys that complain about that top bolt, this was my first Bronco starter replacement and it was easy to remove "like 5 seconds" with a 12" extension and a swivel joint on the end. Just wanted to brag about a perfect scenario break down.
