OEM vs Delco starter

Yes, Delco is a good name.

 

Delco is a major supplier of electrical parts for all sorts of vehicles..

make sure you get to ask how long it is warranted for.

 

The OEM starter from the factory was manufactured by Delco Remy.

Most OEM starters were a full size 42MT or the 39MT, (which is a gear reduction starter).

Most starters new or remanufactured are warrantied for one year from the date of purchase.

My truck uses a Delco Remy 42MT which lasts for about 4-5 years in normal use.

The starter solenoid is usually the first thing to go when they start to fail.

The mojority of the replacement starters that are sold at most parts warehouses and the stealership are remanufactured Delco Remy.

If you want a brand new Delco Remy, it's going to cost you a song, make sure you ask if it's remanufactured or new.

Also there are brand new Made in China 42MT and 39MT copies out there, but I don't know how good they are.

 

i was actually going to suggest, the one he has in the truck now, may indeed a delco starter. but i just let it go.

 

Take a picture. Most newer Paccar ones are Mitsubishi, which I prefer.

 

That was a Mitsubishi you took out. They carry a three year unlimited mileage warranty.
