Starter thread?

can someone point me to one? I'm pretty sure this is a starter issue, not a relay/etc. Can someone recommend a good source/info? Thanks...

May be, ...

but in my 10 years or so of cruising this board, I have found that people usually shout back at you to "Search first, you lazy bum!". Since I could find no starter thread, I asked.
I really think it's simple enough, I'm pretty sure that after 13 years the OE starter is tired. It should be. Only real question is whether there is an improvement or better fix than just buying a Bosch one in the box. And from who.

Thank you for...

your (not too) helpful reply. Yes, I am on EPC. Yes, I know what the current part number is. I also have made the trek to ebay and see several rebuilds/remans that are under $100.

Here is a very specific question:
Has anyone used any of these starters, or something other than OE, with good results?

Clear enough?
