As far as parts stores, thats about the cheapest you can find.....Unless you find a used one at a salvage yard, but then you are taking a chance, that it may not work..

Autozone may be cheaper may want to check them but I bet its about the same as advance. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thank you for your service, I appreciate it. Be safe in Iraq.

The solenoid in the starter is what's so expensive, according to a local starter rebuild shop I found. They rebuilt mine for $130 and gave a lifetime warranty to boot.

Jason Cromer Jason Cromer: 877-726-8295 or 850-243-8826 (direct parts dept ph #)

I would go ahead and get the LT4 starter, more cranking power and they are actually new and not rebuilt.
