Paid $150 for a 'high torque mini starter' from a Mopar friendly mail order speed shop. What I got looked identical to the starter that was on my v6 Dakota, same as my v8 Dakota.
You can get those cheap at any parts stores with a core exchange any day of the week.
I've also learned that speed shops have bills to pay and will charge what people are willing to pay. $200 adjustable roller rockers for magnum heads? Identical to $95 Chevy adjustable roller rockers on eBay. Even arrived in the same packaging.

A starter has a 'service life', Stu...
Spend the money and buy a new one...
Especially if you gots to wrangle it around some TTI's...
I agree and have no problem buying a new one, just want to make sure its very well made and reliable.

I have always used the Dakota starters and have never had a failure. A while back there was thread about starters and the starter for the '05 2500 5.7 5 speed Ram was the starter of choice. But I can't remember why. Anyway it's part number is P56029274AA and it wasn't very expensive. I can't find that thread right now.
Master, again and still

i drive a v6 Dakota with the mini starter,at one time my buddy had a full size 3/4 360 engine truck that used what we thought was the same starter,we put them side by side and the 360 was just a little longer and bigger around,not by a lot but enough that it showed when side by side
my ladder of success is missing some rungs

Look at the ratings.The 360 starter is higher rated.The V6 is the smallest.With 2 inch TTIs and scatter shield Ill always use a reman or new savin a few bucks isnt that important.Rocky

If your going to get a remanufactured starter REMY is a very good brand,stay away from A1-CARDONE.

Never saw any plates.Just install them just like the big starters.Only thing you have to remove the plastic piece on the lugs for most.I had to shorten the large lug a bit to clear my block.Have a pic of the plate?Rocky

I've put three of them on never have had a plate like that or even heard mention of it. I also like to use the stud like it came from the factory for the top bolt. Makes it easier to hang in place before putting the other bolt in.
