This is the third 6.5L diesel starter I've purchased from dbelectrical over the past 8 years for various GM trucks. The first two fit great, started great, and lasted a long time. I know this starter will last a long time as well. I think these starters are higher quality than the local parts stores reman offerings. When my starter gave out on my 95 Tahoe 6.5L, I came to ebay and specifically sought out this dbelectrical starter.
