97 5.0 Starter Needed-Help Ebay one???

Jester1994 · 06-15-2005, 10:28 AM

Hey guys, my starter on my 5.0 has started to go, it already quit once an drequired me to smack it a few times. I am trying to replace it, I can get one from Advance Auto Parts or NAPA from about $150-170. But I also found a few "100% new" opnes on ebay from legitimate seller (it looks like). Tell me what you think.

I also need to make sure they will fit my 5.0, built in 6/97, since I think there might have been two slightly different starters, or at least the way the wires hook up from what I have been told. Any help is appreciated!

Option 1 on ebay

Option 2 on ebay

Let me know what you guys think, I'd liek to order something today so I can try to install it this weekend! Thanks!

I'd go with the second one cause they have a higher feedback rating. 60 some rating is kind of low for an auto parts distributor on ebay. Then again they do have a 100% rating vs the 90 percent something the other one has. Its your choice they both look good.

They both look good, I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience buying these products from ebay since a starter is a serious part and can be expensive. Thanks for the info, any other opinions are welcome!
