Thanks for the insight.
One more question:
Any qualms about rebuilt over new and I see Advance Auto offers a "Lifetime Warranty" where with online options I'm seeing 2 year, 1 year... Advance is a little higher but... Thoughts?

I had a starter fail at about 150,000 miles on my 98. Once or twice it just didn't sound right cranking. Then it wouldn't do anything.
I went to a local AC/Delco authorized rebuilder of starters and alternators. I bought their rebuilt (remanufacturered). I'm thinking it was under $100. When I took back the old unit, the counter guy said the oil from oil pan seeps gets into the solenoid and causes the contacts to fail. He asked if my oil pan was leaking and it wasn't but it does carry drops around on the edges from slow seeps.
