Product Details

This BBB Industries REMAN STARTER is engineered for vehicles originally equipped with a Nippondenso-style starter configuration. The unit is a direct replacement option for 2011-2013 Ram 1500, 2011 Ram Dakota, 2006-2010 Dodge Dakota, 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2006-2009 Dodge Durango, and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider. Part number 17950 is also referenced in applications that call for OE-style replacement numbers such as 04801256AA and 428000-3050.

BBB Industries REMAN STARTER 17950 is built for starting-system service where the original starter has worn brushes, a weak solenoid, damaged drive engagement, or slow cranking. The remanufactured design supports reliable engine turnover in Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota applications, while maintaining the OE-style fit and electrical configuration expected for these vehicles.

Common Issues This Starter Can Address

• Engine cranks slowly or inconsistently
• Starter clicks but does not engage
• Intermittent no-start condition caused by starter wear
• Grinding or poor pinion engagement during cranking
• Electrical failure in the starter solenoid or drive assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle’s original starter configuration before installation.
• Confirm clockwise rotation, 12V system voltage, and 9-tooth pinion match the removed unit.
• Mounting bolts and shims are not included.
• Inspect battery condition, cables, grounds, and charging-system output before replacing the starter.
• Check the starter mounting surface and ring gear condition to avoid repeat starting issues.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries remanufactured starters are rebuilt to meet application-specific starting requirements and OE-style fitment expectations. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 04801256AA and 428000-3050 for the same application.
