So I just replaced my wife's starter on her automatic DSM I bought an (ultima) starter from O'Reilly. when I start the engine, the starter cranks significantly slower compared to the old starter (Genuine Mitsubishi). It also sounds like it grinds ever so slightly at the very end of the start cycle but initially engages just fine. I have tripple checked all the connections/wires and the battery is good. I even beefed up the ground. My question is has anyone had experience with O'Reilly (ultima) starters? I have a feeling that it's defective or just plain s***.
 
Thanks for the replies guys! Definitely a good idea to have the starter tested before you leave the store with it. I too have gotten bad alternators several times from auto parts stores. Personally I'm going to not waste my money on cheap aftermarket crap anymore. I'll just go OEM from now on. It's the more expensive route but OEM parts LAST. You get what you pay for I guess.
