Well I had my starter go out in my blazer. It is a gear reduced mini starter from power master. It just started getting hot and not turning enough to start. I am needing to get a fix asap as Moab is only a couple weeks away. I am wondering what you run? I have seen good reviews about DB Electrical at some other sights for Race Cars, but am wondering about the water issue. I do not mud Bog and try to spend as little timei n the mud as possible, but I do hunt a lot and that tends to make things good and dirty.

I also need the mini as I have a head/exhaust clearance issue. Any thoughts? I did take the power master through a really deep water crossing recently and wonder if that did not do the powermaster in?

Oh since I am going to Moab soon money is tight. I do see some on Ebay for $70-$100. 1 comes with a 5 year replacement warranty, others only 1 year.
 

I saw that one. What sort of torque does that starter put out. I am looking for one that gets pretty torguey incase I need to start with the motoer in gear (rockcrawling) etc. I also was wondering about the ability to rotate the stater on teh mount. I have seen a few that allow the starter to rotate to 12 positions and thus allowing the the celinoid to be further from the exhaust and reduce heat. Is there one mad specifically for off road/dirt, must, rockcrawling purposes or should i stick with somehting like this:

I also looked and can get the selinoid for $26... I am not suer how to check and see if all I need to replace is the selinoid. How would I tell. When trying to starter started to drag. Now it barely turns and gets really hot. If I can just replace the selinoid for $27 then I am money ahead. What do you think?


or this one from ebay:
