Folks=

I've been getting intermittent non-action from my starter recently. In the past 1st thing in the morning, there would sometimes be a hesitation, just a second or two, from when you turn the key to when the starter would hit. Then it would be fine from then on, never had an issue with a warm van.

Now 3 times in the last week 1st thing in the morning I turn the key and there's nothing. The battery is fine, I get under and bonk the starter w/ hammer for a bit, get in, try it again and again, it always starts again within 5 minutes, and then its not a problem the rest of the day.

If there's something else to check on this let me know, otherwise I'm shopping for a new starter.

Which leads me to the question: when I look at RockAuto online I see 5-6 different Reman. starters ranging from $92-100 something. Are these pretty much all the same? I'd like to have one here for the time when the thing just won't start.

Thanks!
