Small block mini starter
all Dakota's from 1987-2000+ with the 3.9 v6 or 318/360 came with them as well as the 1988-2000 dodge ram's with the 3.9/318/360 as well as the 1990+ ram vans with the same engine. mini starters also known as (nippen)denso starters are good and the only thing that ever goes wrong with them electrical is the solenoid contacts which can be replaced for about $2 without replacing the solenoid
I think I have a mini starter that I may sell for anyone who is interested, would need to be cleaned up, was pulled from a 1996 dodge ram with 318
