Question I saw you answered a question about an 85 150 SE, so here goes. I think my starting is about to crap out. Please tell me what it looks like and where to find it and the best way to replace it. I have also seen some info about "upgrading" to an easier to install starter that will work for my "beast". I use it exclusively as a plow truck and we are starting to get some snow up here..... Thanks for any help.
Answer I'll take shot at this one too.
I'm assuming you have a V-8, and if so, you may be able to get an aftermarket Starter through Summit, http://www.summitracing.com/, or Jegs http://www.jegs.com/. Generally though, the original Chrysler Starters were High-Torque Starters right from the Factory, however, it couldn't hurt to check out Summit or Jegs.
