Yes, rebuild your starter with heavier duty parts than stock from Nations Auto Electric for much cheaper than a "repainted" unit. The starter I rebuilt for my 1997 went 20K miles in the truck before I sold it due to the truck having been totaled and it will last the current owner *at least* 25 years.

As for the alternator, the same advice applies.
