Re: DB Electrical Mini Starter Install

Hey Tim,,
Can you give us some feed back after you install the starter? I too have a k2500 with headers. Would love to get your thoughts/impressions.

Yes they had good success with high compression engines. Didn’t ask about heat soak issues or header clearances, sorry! Solenoid covers help as do header wrap

I sure will. Send me a PM so I have that, in case this thread gets way from us.

My whole point in using this type of starter is to prevent heat soak by allowing way more air space. I don't want any extra shield to deal with or header wrap. Hardly any clearance is what causes heat soak from headers. I have like 1/4". That's why there is no issue with manifolds and pipes or some headers... room. The guy at DB said the starter I got is what they sell to guys with headers
