Re: Best starter

I like the factory GM starters off of 98 Tahoe application with 350 engine. You get good GM quality and they're good gear reduction units and way, way smaller than stock ones. I buy from Rockauto.







The best part is you can buy one 7 days a week at any auto parts store.

Can't remember the last starter I purchased because it hasn't ever failed me.

I'm pretty sure it was a rebuild from O'Riley's as that would be typical of me.

Think if I do ever have a problem with it then this route would be the way I'd like to go.

Heck it'd probably add 10% to my gas mileage on the weight savings alone!

Thanks for posting it Tx Firefighter.

Re: Best starter

Had issues with my original small block starter, so I threw on a factory big block starter. Cranks over much faster now.

Re: Best starter

I have a Powermaster. Zero complaints and I would buy another one.

Re: Best starter

My 72 350 has a factory starter. It kicks on the first twist of the key. I don't see how any starter could improve on 100% efficient. Never any issues. I also have a good, strong battery with high CCA and good cables and clean connections.
