Chrysler starter spin down time

66fs said

I worked for a Chrysler dealership and we would rebuild them in down time. I don't remember how long they took to go silent. But I remember when they sounded like yours, we knew someone rebuilt it who didn't know all the specs or were cutting corners.

I appreciate your input. thanks for at least letting me know the spin down time on mine is excessive.I kind of felt that way at the onset,but wasn't sure,which brought me here.As someone who notices little details and likes to do things right (factory correct),I try and ask questions so I may learn. all I can say is that I wish there were more professionals like you out there. But I guess I can hardly expect factory spec work from people in China or Mexico being paid next to nothing to rebuild starters.
If I had an original factory correct Mopar starter on the car I would have simply taken it to a local rebuilder who was around when these were new because I know he would have done the job correctly. Unfortunately the previous owner of the car went the Denso route so I didn't have a factory Chrysler unit to have rebuilt and he didn't have any on the shelf.
Wonder if there would be any point in exchanging it for another since I have a lifetime warranty or if they are probably all this way. How hard would it be for me to get this friction washer and install it myself?
