Chrysler starter spin down time
I used to pride myself on being able to tell what brand car was started in a parking lot by hearing the starter noise, Chrysler and Ford being the most distinct. The first Chrysler starter I got that didn't have that distict overrun noise was my first Cherokee. Even when they were new the starter still ran after the engine was settled to an idle. It was a charming, warming Mopar character, and never meant there was something wrong, just normal. I do have fond memories but now I use the later model Dakota starter and although it is far superior, it doesn't have any distinct sound, just the engine compression turning. By the way, for those that don't know, those high output mini gear reduction starters yours buying for $200, it's the same late model Dakota starter at the auto parts store for $80, just without the lifetime warranty. Hope that saves some of you money.
