    2007 phazer fx aftermarket vs oem starter

    I have mine on dolleys right now with belly pan off. Lying on my back looked up in there n jockeyed it around but it wont line up to fall out no matter how i turn it. Idk. Not afraid to tear it apart. As a Quality Engineer this gives me good reason to inspect every detail as i dig. But i dont...

    2007 phazer fx aftermarket vs oem starter

    Thanks mooseman. I was afraid to go used since i dont want to go back in there again. Figured i have over 10,000 miles and it held up well for not loctiting the bolts so new would get me another 10,000 miles. You really think used would be ok? You know if there have been any starter upgrades or...
