How long do starters and alternators last?
My 2001 Chevy pick-up just turned 200,000 miles yesterday.
Just as at 100,000, it will now get all new belts and hoses. The fuel pump was replaced at 170,000, and its had a new battery and tires.
The starter and alternator are both original, and working fine.
Does the Pelican brain trust think it is a good idea to change them, "just because", or should I wait until they start acting up?
After such long service with the factory originals, I will not get the typical rebuilt units from the local auto parts store. I will get brand-new Delco parts, and hope for another 200,000 miles of service.
