What Is The Best Mini Starter?
Also comparing the internals the Dodge Dakota/Nippon Denso looks significantly more reliable that the cheap mini-starters. Be sure to get a real Nippon Denso if you get a new Dodge Dakota starter...here they handed over a low quality copy...
The motor housing of a real Nippon Denso is slightly longer than on the cheap copies, see the attached pic.
I don't have a good experience of these...they engage only half the width of the ring gear. Both the original BB starter, Powermaster Ultra Torque and the original Dodge Dakota type Nippon Denso engage the full width of the ring gear. They throw out the drive gear 5 millimeters more than the 440Source type starters and thus engage the full width of the ring gear.
