| Post subject: | starter help |
Hey folks, The stater on my /6 duster is pretty much pooched so I went to the wreckers to find a replacement. The yard owner sold me a Dakota starter (3.9 I believe). I have heard this swap works also. Is this pretty much a direct swap or do I need any special parts to mate this to my old school iron? |

Yup, it'll fit and work fine. These Nippondenso mini starters are better than the Chrysler units in every possible way: Lighter, stronger, faster, draw less current, longer-lived. They just don't sound original, is their only problem. You can use a starter from any '89-'01 RWD Mopar 3.9, 5.2, or 5.9 engine. That mostly means Dodge trucks (Dakota + Ram) and full-size vans. The '01 stop year is because later starters do not have an enclosed nose cone that fits in the round recess in the bellhousing. Using an open-top (no nose cone) starter on an earlier application causes misalignment and early starter death. Be sure and get a genuine starter with a Chrysler, Denso, or Nippondenso nameplate on it. The Chinese copycats flooding the market (advertised at parts stores as "100% new!") are junk. Sometimes the original hookup locations are inconvenient. There are multiple different connectors available, though, to solve that issue. See here here for connection options. |
