For anyone that's well versed in replacing the starter the conventional way, I currently have the IM off in order to replace the PCV valve and hose (and also the knock sensor while I've got the IM off). I'm staring at the starter and wondering, since this car has over 180k miles, should I go ahead and replace it, since it would be so easy to do it right now? The starter has the name Mitsubishi (OEM) on the label, so it makes me wonder if it ever had to be changed by one of the two previous owners. I realize a refurb starter might still have Mitsubishi on the label, or would it?
Starters are expensive (especially if going back with an OEM one), so, in your opinion(s), is replacing the starter the conventional way easy enough for me to just leave it alone? You know that old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but I also know a lot of people when changing a car's timing belt will replace the water pump, and vice versa.
