2007 Avalanche! EXACT MATCH!

Almost identical to the original 2007 Avalanche. Same breakdown. Precise fit. Please note that the starter comes with a screw that you must use in place of one of the old ones. Because one of the mounting holes on the starter is slightly smaller than the other.

Pros
  • Nice item
Cons
  • Expensive

Perfect fit - starter

Item arrived next day as promised. Fits perfectly on my 04 Silverado 5.3LA Tip: Remove the dipstick tube, this will make the starter motor easier to remove and install. It is highly recommended to use deep sockets to remove the nuts holding the wires to the solenoid. 8mm and 13mm.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Only available in white

Cheap price, good performance.

Much cheaper than even at the wholesaler in our local parts warehouse. And there was no basic fee. Fastened it with screws. Last week it was 0 to 5 degrees at start every morning and it sounds like the engine is revving at the same speed as 70 degrees. I am impressed. We'll see if it holds up over time but for now I have to say it was a great purchase.

Pros
  • Drug 🔥
Cons
  • Other Other

Do not buy, not worth the time

I kept getting no clicking sound from my truck, decided it needed a starter, it worked first about a week and then my truck a few miles from Completely abandoned home away from home after a costly tow, I tried to get another one of them. The second stopped working when I turned it on for the third time. I bought one from a very expensive dealership and my truck had no problems as I wish I had chosen the best company to begin with.

Pros
  • Test for a year
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Nice well built starter that works!

The starter was delivered on time, I was a bit disappointed because it didn't come in the factory box but in a plain white box Not in very good condition although it was battered when the box was opened A nice shiny good built starter installed 2/20/20 will update if problems arise, temps are below 0 here, new starter runs all day in the cold, great price for a decent starter.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Minor issues

So far, so good. - Parts

It's been about a month and it's still holding up. It definitely wasn't of the same quality as the auto parts store, but it cost over 60% less. I will definitely buy again. I want to say that many reviews indicate that the kit includes only one installation screw, and not two mandatory ones. That's true, but the reason is only one of the holes on the starter is smaller than the old mounting bolts. For a perfect fit, only one new one is needed. There is definitely no need to drill a hole for the

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Out of style

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…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not satisfied with everything
