I guess anybody can write any warranty they want, and with many warranties, they not worth the paper they're printed on. I was just refused warranty from Advance Auto on a "Lifetime Warrantied" muffler. The manager looked at it, and told me it was rusted out, so therefore no warranty. ? ? ? Makes me wonder, what do they THINK does mufflers in, atomic rays? I also had a set of "lifetime warrantied" headers from Blackjack - warranty not honored. NAPA brake pads - warranty not honored. Heat exchanger on an Oneida hot-air oil furnace - exchanger warrantied from burn out forever - and mine burnt out after 5 years - warranty not honored. I guess the word "forever" means something different to them. In regard to the starter though, generally speaking, 12 volt starters ARE designed to operate at the 9-10 volt range, not 12 volts. In automotive or tractor use, it is pretty d*mn hard to get enough battery to surpass the 10 volt threshold, due to the high amp draw at cranking. My diesel Suburban has three 1000 CCA batteries and still only cranks at 10 volts in cold weather. A one volt increase, though, in cranking voltage results in a big difference in engagement speed and cranking RPM. I suspect with a lot of newer starters having gear-reduction instead of direct-drive, it's hard to hurt them. I changed over all my diesel trucks to gear-reduction starters, and they've been much better than the old direct-drive AC Delcos.
