peanut starters

[sam z]

A few of you made recommendations on the smaller starter a month
or so ago. I believe somebody else down the line said that a starter
from a 90's model dodge truck would fit as well. Any truth to this?

thanks

i got my starter from a 96 dodge van. from what i understand it has to come from a six cylinder or v-8 model. pickup will work i would guess. :cents:

dakota v8 or full size v8 truck most 90's models work , also 80's

$25 -$35 used from most salvage yards. there are threads on moparts about it .

but they just don't sound right......

 

[moparmoose3]

they may not sound right but i'd rather change out one of those than the original ones. besides with headers the original ones always heat soaked on me about every year. :drive:

 

[mcmopar]

Plus the fact they kick over FAR better than the original ones!

Give it up Jerry & John; you're preaching to the "World is Flat" crowd on this one... :lmao:

I run mini starters on all my cars that have high compression. I use the 94 v-8 Dakota for reference since that was what I owned at the time. I just took the starter off my Dakota and put it on my Dart and gave it a try and it worked good so that was what I used from then on. Good luck.

I've had good luck with starters not getting cooked.

Except for one maybe! :jester:

 

[Basketcase]

yeah, but at least I didn't have to worry about changing it out.

Good point!

 

[Basketcase]

all I had to change was the whole car, rebuild the garage, etc

 

[roadrunnerh]

Basketcase, I'm with ya......the original ones make me smile when I'm cranking.
I think I missed out on the story of totalling your car and garage.......

2007,july, at about 3am woke up tp one of the neighbor kids beating on the hose yelling "you're garage is on fire!" Looked out the window to this.........

 

[roadrunnerh]

What was the cause?????

 

[Basketcase]

inside was 25+ years of parts-nothing exciting, just lots of odds and ends,lawn tractor,bikes,my road runner, and my uncle's '69 300 convertible.

Yes, sucks X2
I hope it wasn't one of those mini starters that caught on fire.
