Starters the same? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jorgensensc · 04-22-2013, 08:05 PM

I ended up with a starter off a newer silverado with 5.3 for my 6.2 swap. It has the plug instead of the terminal bolt for the ignition wire. Will it work fine for the 6.2? I know it bolts up fine, but I just don't know if the throw of the gear is correct. Just trying to make sure before I try and crank it up. I don't want to break any teeth on anything. I tried to cross reference part numbers and use some common sense, but the part numbers don't cross over for fit, I think because of the plug instead of the ring terminal. But it seams to me it SHOULD work correctly. Any thoughts?

My 6.2 (2013 Camaro SS) has the starter with the plug. I think the small high torque starters will work on all setups. I would try to cross check the flywheels and see if they are the same.

Thanks for that info Rob. I tried using your info and any info I could figure out. Unfortunately I can't get info that seems reliable or correct. It's like the vehicles are too new and the catalogs aren't updated past 2010, some 2011. They all appear robe 168 tooth fly wheels. However there also appear to be shims used on some vehicles too. I guess I will just have to crank it and see what happens.
