The starter on my Ford Ranger pickup died. I looked on the internet and fo und a wide range of replacements. The prices ranged from $38 to about $150 . The truck is old and will be replaced soon, so I ordered the cheapest. There were two places that had that price. One was in Calif. and from wh at I could tell tell the other was in Eastern Tenn. Surprise the place in Tenn. was a vendor thru Walmart. Since I am on East Coast, I ordered from Walmart. Another surprise, the tracking started for place in Mass. And t he final surprise.... It was brand new manufactured in China.
It arrived late today and I put it on after dinner. It works fine. At th at price I was expecting a rebuilt starter.
