Revainrating 4 out of 5

5 months still in use

As I said, 5 months and still in use. Keep in mind that I don't use this truck very often. This is by no means an OEM equivalent, not even close, and I have to admit I only went down this route because I'm a busted musician and Covid 19 wiped out my events calendar. I didn't have a jack good enough to raise this truck very high and as high as I got I didn't trust the stand and got off the steering wheel, doing pretty much anything on the fly to not crush my brain when the jack did not work. After all, I wore it and said it's a bitch? I had to reach so far and hold the starter for so long that my shoulder and elbow had some sort of tendon issue that lasted for several weeks. Luckily all my concerts got canceled and I didn't have to perform like that. One thing I hate to say and it's HUGE the starter won't sound like what you're used to, at first glance this starter sounds like something that will explode apart leaving me stranded at the first worst possible moment. I think it's worth deducting a star for that because like I said I'm not using this truck much at the moment but if I do again I'll be listening very carefully because it makes a whistle instead of an arre arre arre- noise if that makes sense
