I'm getting readsy to replace the starter on my 02 Tahoe LT 5.3l Flex Fuel. I got a starter from Advance Auto but I want to get some reviews about this brand. If it absolutely sucks then I'll return it, but if it will do then I'll install it.

The starter is from ToughOne. It's a rebuild. Anyone ever hear about these guys??

My other option is to get one from the internet. The brand I keep coming across is Replacement and Powermasters. The price difference for all these is significant, so any info on these would be appreciated, especially ToughOne which is the one I got from Advance Auto.
Here is the site with 2 of the brands.

BTW, I tried to google ToughOne and got nothing, which is not a good sign in my book.


Thanks

FWIW, stuff from Advance is usuall pretty good. I use it on cars I re-sell

for stuff my wife & kids depend on, i would get a starter from NAPA. their electrical stuff is a bit better, and so are brake rotors.

if you have that one, may as well put it in, and not worry about it.

powermaster is high end "show car" or muscle car stuff.

you should be fine.
