This is the second time I've put this starter in, so this time around, instead of removing the rops and cab, I decided to just cut a hole in it for access. A new starter is over $600.00 so when I got it rebuilt for $125.00 I was pretty happy. It worked for about six months, so when I brought it back, the guy that did it only charged us $40.00. (Now thats customer service. ) B-)
