The Original Delco 10 MT starter motor is the most reliable In the High Torque version.Hey guys,
So my starter motor died...
For a while it was only an intermittent short grind after the engine kicked over, then at the track it started to screech then started to not want to turn over… it got to the point that I was imagining I only had a handful of starts left, so I left it running while I refuelled on the journey home… it was a frankenstarter that I had made out of two old starters, so can’t complain really.. got my moneys worth..
I’m keen on opinions as to what style of starter is best as far as value (cheap..) and reliability… the old starter didn’t seem to struggle (while it was working.. ) to turn the engine over, so, I don’t think I need a super strong starter.. I can’t afford a big brand starter anyway… Is there a mid-level model and brand that will do the job? Most I’ve spoke to recommend a mini high torque starter. I guess the weight saving and higher torque would be of benefit..
I’m still chasing the coolant drip.. Which I hope wasn’t related to the starter failing…? It does drip near there.. Any way to tell if I dismantle the dead starter?
Can't you get a re-manufactured starter locally since the old one seemed to work just fine.
I can't see a starter having anything to do with a coolant leak. You need look closely around the top
of the motor to see if it's coming down the back of the engine. Hopefully you don't have a crack in
the block or heads near the starter.
Hi Brian! Nope no Napa here.. can order off rockauto though..https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/RSE2465110
Not sure if you have a Napa Parts store in New Zealand or not Jimmy.
I think the block accepts both..? But, it was an offset one.. I’ve got one of each (both not working..) here..Do you have the inline starter bolt pattern or Staggered offset Jimmy ?
Look up a starter motor for a 2001 - 2009 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a 8.1L 496 ci BBC engine.Hi Brian! Nope no Napa here.. can order off rockauto though..
