I have been shopping around for a replacement starter for my 84 Jimmy. I can get Duralast and AC Delco locally and there are different models, some with small openings for off-road. I can also order a Bosch online but it appears to be a single model. Other brands are out there as well; Denso, Quality Built among others. Finally there are both rebuilt and new options.

Does anyone have recommendations on what kind of starter to get? The truck won't be heavy off-road use but some ranch road driving and the occasional pasture driving. I am expecting to drive a couple thousand miles a year.

Any input is welcome, even if it is third hand knowledge. Thanks!
 
Autozone duralast offroad one. Cheapest, ive never needed to shim one, and lifetime warranty. My vans had one for 5 years and still cranks no problem. I dont buy into the hype of super pricey mini starters. Unless you have some crazy high compression motor that cant be turned by a standard one. Otherwise its money that can be spent elsewear
 
Thanks for the replies, that is basically what my mechanically inclined friends are telling me as well so Autozone, here i come!
