            No issue with install. Turns out the starter I was replacing was a NAPA lifetime warrantied unit but without the original receipt my local NAPA store would not honor the warranty. For the money, Driveworks unit it is a great value. Only time will tell if buying the lowest cost replacement was money well spent.

                  This item was a perfect replacement for the factory starter on the car. I was able to get this for 25% less than any other supplier and was very happy with the quality of the starter.

                        Have a 2003 Ford Taurus V6. Starter died in the parking lot where I work. I'm short on cash so I opted to buy the cheapest starter Advance offers and replace it on the spot. A borrowed jack, jack stands and an hour later and my car is running again. It's been a week or two since then and the starter is still working. If that changes I'll update this review.
