You need to buy a Cummins starter from Cummins or original OEM from Mopar also check out Genos Garage and DelCity I have bought from both of them

I agree with the original cummins starter.
But with an average of 75k per starter, seems way to low for a starters life. I'd look further into this.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States, where men 'were' free." ~ Ronald Regan
X2 agreed I get the feeling that he wasn’t using a Cummins Starter probably some inferior pos from one of the auto place stores sounds like to me with getting such little mileage out of starter

It's all on the quality of the rebuilder. You could probably do a better job yourself. Starters can be tough
2003- 3500 RWD Automatic. S & B intake, BD Intercooler, Pusher Air Horn, MM3 Double R Tuning, Turbo Timer, electric Flex-a-lite fans, FASS 95, 50 HP tips, upgrade to 351 turbo, 3.42 gears, Twin air compressors, air bags, Remote dual oil filters, Hellwig sway bar, Front Winch. Home made Fuel Heater, BD Exhaust brake with Torque Lock. Tons of TLC
I have a couple of questions
Are you buying these starters at AutoZone? If so stop. Advance or CarQuest rebuilds are much better. Cardone rebuilds are good. NAPA. Just stay away from Autozone unless you need a national brand or you are in a real pinch.
There are tons of real good used starters in the yards at a fraction of the cost
is the truck easy to start or are you continuously grinding the hell out of it?
What shape are the battery cables and connections in?
Have you had the batteries tested?
Let's not fix the problem, let's find the cause.

Turns out the the top bolt on starter had all but come out and bottoms were loose the starter was not making complete contact with the flywheel. Thank you for your input
