Do you think a standard one out a 1994 Dodge 318 1500 pickup is any different than the Mopar ones in Jegs or Summit, or ?

Idk about any difference, but I know quite a few people that have run a Ram/Dakota starter successfully for quite some time. I have always used Mancini's starters.
1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn. Looking for the original block for my Bee. The last 4 are 7449

I used to buy the stock mini starters at the junkyard and take them to my local starter and alternator rebuild shop for a freshen job. Now I go online to a Advance auto and buy a start for a 1995 Dodge Ram truck. Get the 25-30% off then go to the store 5 minutes later to pick it up. Then I get a coupon in my email a couple weeks later for 5-10.00 on my next purchase

I've been buying db electrical starters and alternators on ebay, everyone has worked great.
I'd guess the ones summit/jegs sell are new and advance and so on are remans.

They(Mancini) rate them via how much compression your motor is .. price seems to have jumped a lot since last time I bought one http://www.manciniracing.com/starters.htmlThink I will just try one from NAPA

One of our members has posted in the past about mopar starters as he sells them. He posted up some good info that could probably be found with a search

I read somewhere that Denso no longer makes that starter new, so everything you buy now is a reman and core charge is higher, hence the jump in price.

Personally I'd steer clear of napa starters...went thru 3 of them on my wifes Ford car over 2 yrs...They are good when they work, but when you get to 4th or 5th round and the starter takes a crap, you'll wish you hadn't. I know 1st hand, unhappy wife, got a nice B&M starter on there now going on 3 yrs strong. Everyone else that posted did not say that ? I doubt I'll make it to the 5th round anyway (lol) not sure what a B&M starter is , may not fit with my TTI headers ?

I have 5 new mini starters left, $79 shipped to your door Can you adjust the clock position on yours? NO, you would have to contact IMI for that, they own the patent for those, they are pricey. I do sell tons of starters to race starter shops that slap their own label on them and resale to place's like Jeg's, Summit......

Confused about the new and Chinesse and origin comment, there are over 250 starter shop in China that make that starter, I deal with about 15 of them, no one outside of China makes it that I know of (definitely no US sources) Japan is the only other place that they come from (the OE) but I would bet money that at the low price Denso doesn’t even make them anymore, and would buy sub assemblies out of China and assemble and put a Japan sticker on them. And no, not all China factories are the same, But truthfully on price, it determines more on how far you are down the line getting it, In China they are all with in about $2 of each other......everything else is just mark up, so if one is twice as much as another, someone just made more along the way

Not meaning anyone in this thread, just in general. There are so many rebranded/labeled parts out there and prices are all over. So many people will pay more thinking that means your getting a better part when they could get the same thing for way less.

I grabbed a new one from him. When I build a new combo I always fit 2 starters while its on the stand as most of mine need modified and I want a spare at the track ready to go. Untitled by John Cadamore, on Flickr

This particular Nippondenso brand OE new starter is still available from Mopar. $135, not bad. It may be all or partially made in China. Any of the new non-OE brand units (starters, alternators, etc.) I've seen in auto part stores are made in China. I see reman stuff from Mexico, USA and China, with the Chinese being the cheapest and the junkiest, usually.
Yes, often time the price doesn't mean it's better, maybe just that one is lifetime warrantied while the cheaper is just a year. But if you compare the reman stuff from different sources, it's not all the same. Yes, I understand it is about impossible to get any of this stuff that is not at least partially made in China.
I have no idea where the MP P5007860AB is made. I'm not sure that it matters what the sticker or the box says anymore either.

This is the Nippondenso starter that was sold by MP and I used for years with good results. There are remans, new, and Chinese copies available most places. Price and origin are a big indicator of quality. On this picture, where the gold , long bolt holds it together..the little casting that sticks out on the end opposed to the starter gear hit the header messed around with it for a couple hours to clearance a tube to make it fit, what a PITA !

No header issues on mine, but I don't know how thick the casting is there. I may have taken it apart to see if the starter could be modified before dinging the header. Yes, the plastic adapter needs to be removed on some apps.

It funny you say that, I sell things on eBay under a few names, priced Low, Medium and Higher. People do think that, Some people shop price, kool. Some don’t want the Cheapest thing and buy the more expensive one, very kool. Some think they are buying the best and buy the highest priced one, I love them. Why would I market it just to one group? If people feel good about spending more, well let’s just say I’m willing to keep them happy. I sell them all the same starters Are your ads worded the same other than price? Or are you actually selling deceit?
I want my fair share

TTI says it clears .. TTI lies I "believe" there are a couple of the nippendenso starters. IIRC the lower amperage one has a smaller body on it. 6"from the end of the motor to the plain of the mounting to trans surface.

I buy one brand of starter Wilson. I get them at NAPA. They aren’t NAPA branded. As I recall they were rebuilt in Canada. Have to ask for them specifically. As a forklift Tech I went through a lot of starters. Forklifts are started 20 times a day or more. We would buy a new “oem” starter and spend four hours changing it only to have it fail next week. One of my coworkers left our parts dept for NAPA. He suggested a Wilson one time and I’ve never got a bad one. All of my IDI diesels have had one. 400 cranking psi The coronet has one as well- I went with the ram truck starter. http://wilsonautoelectric.com/Aboutus
I used to care but....... things have changed

Wilson is no longer made in Canada, they sold out I would guess 8-10 years ago. It is also owned by BBB and all their rebuiding is done in Mexico, on he exact same line as the other brands they sell under. It just gets relabeled
