Are there any? Mine just busted...Not opposed to doing it myself and going big? I don't have any knowledge as this is the first one dead on me oddly... Thank you!

Mine just died on my 2005 Hemi last week @ 50,000 miles.
Very fiddly/tight job to replace if lying on your back under the vehicle.
I paid an auto-electric shop to do the replacement and got charged 2 hours labor (which was O.K.)
Don't believe there are "beefed-up" after market starters available, I just put another Mopar OEM back in

I think the consensus here is that the OEM starter is the way to go. That being said, depending on your symptoms, your starter may not actually be dead. If you're just getting clicks, it's probably just corroded connections (many on this forum can attest to this). Mine was totally unreliable at 85k until I had them install a block heater and clean the connections at the same time (since it requires removal of the starter). Ever since then (2yrs ago and at 105k now) it's been starting like a brand new Jeep.
