i usually try to stay GM. But havent heard many people have problems with aftermarket starters. Plus they are easy to do. So up to you.

You might check first and make sure it isn't the flex plate missing some teeth as well. Better to make sure you get both parts if needed rather then to swap starters and still have a problem.

With my experience with starters, wether new, rebuilt, or factory, it's always best to get one with a good warranty. I've had a brand new starter go bad in just a couple weeks. Warranty!!!!!
