There's never a good time for a starter to go out but I didn't want to settle for some cheap piece of junk. Going with this I saved almost 100$ and still got a quality AC Delco replacement for my 2001 suburban! 256k miles and still going strong!

This starter was installed to replace the factory original starter in a 2002 Tahoe, which was identical to this product. The factory original lasted only 20 years and I am hoping I can get at least 80 years out of this one, as my expectations are as delusional as I hope the Underground CHUD people will be in 80 years when I replace this one. I mean, it sounds cool, it starts the motor in a 20-year-old vehicle and reminds me of Robocop for some reason. Not for the metallics, but more for its ultimate sacrifice for the good people of New Detroit.

I received the starter today (11/9/23) . It is an original equipment GM starter. That said, it is not the starter shown in the pictures of this listing. It is also not manufactured in Mexico. It is of Chinese manufacture and not painted black. It is entirely cheaply silver cadmium/zinc plated...with the exception of the aluminum parts.I will be installing this tomorrow so I will update after a few days but initial impressions are not fantastic.It looks exactly like the $59 no-name brands. The only difference I can see is a manufactured for AC Delco sticker on it. There are no other permanent stampings or markings on the entire unit.I have used GM parts for a very long time and this on its face doesn't seem to live up to past parts. It doesn't look like junk but the product you get doesn't match the description in the listing.Update: I installed the starter and have been using it for the past week. Seems to work fine.

After using my truck an hour earlier when returning to it switching the key on I got nothing but one click. Checked the fuses and then made an attempt to start the solenoid with a screwdriver. I pretty much knew then that I needed a new starter. Have to buy this brand if you all know this kind of thing. It was not easy to get it into my 2002 avalanche 1500 4X4 Z71. We had to access the bolts via the front passenger wheel well to first get them off and also to put them on. In my title I mention the shield of dreams. There is a (heat shield) or whatever the purpose of it is that clips on top of the solenoid over the 3 bolts. The shield has no exacting measure to it. Meaning, I can clip it all over that thing and even move it around after I know I have it in the right spot. What I would do now if I had to do it again is clip it on the right spot (take a photo of the starter/solenoid from the box. And I would use a strong duct tape. Just a couple small pieces on the sides to keep it from moving around. Once we got everything done, turned the key and nothing! Just like before. After we had given up for the (Mother’s) day. I had a thought that the wanky shield could be touching the positive terminal on the solenoid. Told my brother he didn’t think so but then thought maybe it moved when he was squeezing it in there and he had to look right then. Grabbed a screwdriver and moved it saying “it was touching but I don’t think that was it†then we had to put a new 40amp fuse in the fuse box marked “starter†and it fired right up. I have to say that the shield should not be designed that way. My brother works on cars all of the time. His father (my in-law) does a lot of engine work too I myself used to do a lot when I was younger. But we were all stumped and thought it was probably two different things going on at the same time. I feel like we/I was more lucky than clever about finding the problem out. So just beware of that shield. And keep it in mind if your truck doesn’t start right up after installing this starter. Oh, and keep an extra 40amp fuse handy. It was the fuse box under the hood. If your starter rely is clicking at all when you turn your key to start it then it is very likely fine. But check that large fuse named “starterâ€

Chinese junk. Installed it and solenoid would click but that's it...didn't operate at all. I am disappointed in gm for selling junk. Oem is usually the way to go for reliability but, not anymore I guess.

Good day all. I had the same problem. I spent 4.5 hours replacing this same starter on a 2002 Suburban. I started it and it was all good. I ran a few errands and when I went to start it on my last stop it would not start. I was thinking that maybe I should have not went with this starter and just went the the Chevy Dealer starter and paid the $555.00 that they were asking. I went back to look at the ratings one more time. I seen what e-Dude had posted. When my Suburban made it back to my house from AAA, I checked the fuse and yep it was blown. So I replaced and and tried to start it. Same thing the fuse went out. So I know that this had to be what happen. The shield was touching one of the wires. So I took it back apart not taking the starter out. I was able to get the dust/heat shield out. I modified it by grinding the end towards the front of the starter. I did not see a need for the shield to be so close to the electrical connection. So I grinded it back using my bench grinder so that if the heat shield was to move forward it could not touch any of the wires. I then took it one more step. I took RTV Black Silicone and covered the all the electrical connections. I even put Silicone around the legs of the shield so it could not move. I hope that this will help you. It do help me a little to late.One more thing connect the wire back on to your oil sensor fist before bolting the start on after you have the starter in place. I hade to take it back off because the wire would not reach to reconnect it. I could not get the wiring harness to free up any slack.

Starter doesn’t engage all the time, sometimes haveto try 5 times before it catches and turns over, getting worse with the cold weather, can’t figure out how the warranty is suppose to work either!

Started my GMC Yukon once every 3-5 turns of the key. Sometimes first time, never twice in a row. Now it won’t start at all. Was like this from the beginning.
