110k off a starter ain't bad

But wow, I just replaced it and it's like a new car when it starts......

well....

a new car with weather stripping going bad, a f-ed up emergency brake, a rusted out exhaust system, etc...etc....

but it was having trouble starting for a while now, and when it was -6 (feels like -21) here over the weekend, my wife's nor my car would start, I hooked up the battery's together (mine was new) and her car started. My would kick over, but very, very weakly, then it would click but not do anything.

My starter was at `171 miles.. then I did the 3.5 swap and accidentally got come wiring mixed up and fried it. So who knows how much longer it would have gone.

I guess it just depends how many starts you have not miles.
