When I bought that starter.I was not sure witch one
to ask for.
I told them give me one for a 02 Dakota 5.9
17677 is the number that comes up.

This starter is physically bigger than the
Mancini mini I replaced.

Before I did the starter,I installed a firm feel
sector support kit that supports the pitman
arm.

I was able to remove the mancini starter no
problem. But I had to drop the drag link to
get the auto zone starter on.

This is a small block W/TTI step headers(W2)
stick shift.
