Starter motor Denso or OEM FORD
I'm probably gonna go with the reman Denso unit from Rockauto.
Pros: reman unit
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Denso is the only option you should go with.
Pros: only option
Vehicle:
Honda
Some aftermarket starters are garbage, some are good. Denso starters are usually pretty solid if they still make them for your vehicle.
Pros: Denso starters are solid
Cons: aftermarket starters are garbage
The best will always be OE Honda (or Denso, that's the OE manufacturer). RockAuto has a remanufactured Denso for $183, that's the one I'd go with.
Pros: OE quality, reliable
Vehicle:
Honda
I finally had to replace my OE starter on my 2nd gen at \~230k miles. The OEM Denso starters that Toyota uses on these trucks are solid. You are more than likely fine for a long time.
Pros: solid, long lasting
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 230000 km
Denso starter in my Toyota 4runner lasts like 15 years / 150k+ miles before needing a rebuild and can take it out easily.
Pros: lasts 15 years, easy removal
Cons: needs rebuild after 150k miles
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 241401 km
Might be a long shot but see if there is a Starter/Alternator repair shop nearby. They will be able to disassemble and fix what is wrong using much higher quality parts that what auto parts stores use.
Pros: higher quality parts
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
They suck , they break , they are brittle when old its Ford engineers fault !
Cons: suck, break, brittle when old
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
I bought this at a very low price from a store that was closing down. Shortly after installing it, the car started having intermittent long cranks. I spent weeks replacing other parts, but the issue persisted.
After researching on a Honda forum, I learned that the Honda Accord doesn't like aftermarket starters—many others had the same problem.
For Honda starters, it's best to buy a new OEM one or a good remanufactured one(from Denso). I wish I had known this beforehand.
Cons: intermittent long cranks
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Replaced starter motor and battery within 30,000 miles in my 2015 F150
Cons: replaced starter, battery
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 30000 km
