12V dies when starter removed?

[Gregory OConnor]

Greg, quite often starter motor damage is a result of cranking the
engine to a start on low charged batteries. what was the price for
the reman starter?

I use a company in Riverside called "Riverside altinator". A Big
diesel starter rebuild is $185.00 to $250.00. I take them starters
that show signs of problems via a bench test (hard to push start a
dump truck). In a bench test you read the amp draw. Other shops
charge $100.00 less but I dont think they even rebench test the
completed product.

tonight, so we're fine. Thank you very much!
