Me and nearly $1,000 learned what’s up in changing a starter today

Plain old 2017 Armada and the damned starter is $400 without markup. Thanks Joe.
Oh and thanks Nissan for putting the damn thing buried in the middle of the motor necessitating the removal of half of it to get to the starter. WTH.
And since when does a starter last only 7 years.

That is nuts for a starter.

Remember when things were looking good and humming along and then suddenly you looked up and America was too expensive to live in?

Planned obsolesce.
In engineering we use the Goodman Diagram for that.

That's the way of the world today.... make things so difficult to deal with that you have to take it in.

Lol at the non-BMW owners complaining…At a good indy you’d have changed your engine mounts and water pump too…and probably some other shite. “While we’re in there…”

Probably engine heat shortens the life. For some reason some manufacturers put the starter on top of the block. I remember the Northstar V8s having the starter under the intake manifold. A time-consuming exercise to swap a common low cost part.

That sux man. Something I learned young about a getting a starter to last a little longer, is to knock it some with a metal hammer. Apparently knocks the build up loose. At least works with older cars, but would think 2017 would have worked too.

Things were significantly better just 3.5 years ago.

$257 at Advance Auto.....$92.95 on Amazon.
Was Biden in office when Nissan designed the 2017 Armada?

I put a water pump on an AUDI 2.0T , you have to take off all the electronics, fuel system, intake. Ridiculous. They do this shite on purpose
Posted on 5/8/24 at 8:18 am to Meauxjeaux
They aren’t a bad job, just time consuming. I’ve done a few of them on the V-8 Nissans. Once you do one and get familiar, takes about 2 hrs. First one I did that design was on the Northstars years ago. The whole time thinking how dumb it was…

Damn. The starters on my 08 Tacoma and 2011 Tahoe are working with no issues. Good luck

When you buy a lifetime warranty starter it isn't better than the base model, you just pay for 2 right off the bat.

Get ready when those auto start/stop vehicles need to get their's repaired. The literal first thing I did was disconnect the on/off on the switchboard.
