_shel_ny Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 MoPar starter pretty much requiring 2 hands. 3.8L engine GM starter that would almost fit in the pocket of your cargo pants. 4.8L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) but Shel..the very late model starter you show for the Chevy is a knock-off of Mopar's gear reduction drive that the Chevy/Ford folks laughed and scorned and criticized the very unique sound of it in operation..but alas as always for a need of better quality equipment the others succumbs to better engineering of gear reduction starters and moves forward a light year in quality and torque.. the original Mopar gear reduction drives were larger but they did later introduce a lighter smaller unit that will retrofit also...but, the mounting of the GM starter is most ridiculous..one has to use a gauge (drill bit works fine) to install and use shims to adjust the unit in place...GM has a high starter ring failure/damage rate in comparision to other starter that "insert" and mount and not just hung in place as a pure engineering afterthought Edited July 13, 2013 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
