Starter motor upgrade

[xboxrox]

WARNING ~ The following information is my personal guess work ONLY & nothing has been tested to fit or operate correctly on any vehicle yet... My truck an 86 Dodge Power Ram50 manual transmission ~ the following info is focused on my g54b engine, also named Astron engine & 4G54 engine...

BACKGROUND ~ I am comfortable bidding on vehicles & parts both online & at live auctions, been there & done it... I just bought a starter motor for my truck at this auction: https://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/...31QSCI21145012 and I don't even know for sure if it will fit ~ heck, I don't even know if I will ever need another starter ~ but, this auction part is a better starter than the original Direct Drive starter, this one is a PMGR (permanent magnet gear reduction) type starter motor

I spoke with the Robertson & Son phone rep and he said this starter is not made by Mitsubishi but to replace parts on Mitsubishi equipped vehicles forklifts and the like ~ he didn't even know who made it or where it's made ~ think Made-in-China Korea Mexico anywhere but USA (?)

DD STARTER MOTOR IDENTIFICATION PHOTO (typical DD direct drive type on our trucks & less powerful than a PMGR motor) yet physically larger & heavier.

I spoke with phone rep Kale he said you can go up 2 teeth on the starter pinion gear when going from DD to PMGR motors ~ he also told me how to identify a direct drive motor by it's it's field winding buttons ~ my truck has the DD starter motor ~ I might try installing the PMGR motor when it arrives or whenever...

DD MOTOR WITH FIELD WINDINGS (telltale buttons)


PLAN ~ Keep you guys informed of any new discoveries especially if this thing fits & works I looked at the starter on my truck today and it is a lower powered DD type (direct drive) you can tell by the buttons around the motor case ~ the rebuilt starters from NAPA & O'Reilly's are DD direct drive starters

UPGRADE ~ One MR50 member (pennyman? or?) has stated that a Starion starter motor will fit the g54b 2.6L engine ~ perhaps it's a PMGR motor..?

Bye for Now GOT ANY INPUT ?


Will it fit & do I need it..? Who NOoooooooooz
