Starter one and done, Starters not lasting Options

[JKincaid]

Hey everyone-

I have been experiencing issues with the Bosch rebuilt starters. I have gone through three in the last 5 times I have taken the car out and it's beginning to get pretty old having to pull the starter and replace it almost every time I take the car out. I know that the high torque starters are probably a better/more reliable option. I guess my real question is could it be something that is wrong with the electrical system causing these problems or is it just a case of poor quality of the rebuilt starters? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Clearly. Three failures in the last five runs? Starters don't fail at that high of a rate.

What are your exact symptoms and how did you troubleshoot to determine the starter needed replacing? Don't assume if it stops cranking, that throwing another starter at it is the right solution. There are many more likely causes than the starter, such as cracked ignition switch, dirty battery connections, dirty ground strap connections, etc...
