Denso 280-4252 Starter

Denso Reman Starter for OE-Style Starting Performance

The Denso 280-4252 reman starter is a 12-volt, clockwise-rotation starter built for OE-style starting performance in select GM full-size trucks and SUVs. With a 1.7 kW power rating and Mitsubishi OE family design, it is a direct-fit remanufactured starter for applications such as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Tahoe, and GMC Sierra 1500.

Denso reman starters are rebuilt with tested electrical components, new wear parts, and bench validation to help deliver consistent cranking performance in hot and cold conditions. The 280-4252 is also cross-referenced to GM Goodwrench 12655055 and Remy 26016 for the same application.

Key Features

Detailed Description

Denso remanufactured starters are built around a rigorous inspection and replacement process that focuses on electrical integrity and repeatable starting performance. For this 280-4252 starter, the armature and field coils are high-voltage tested, the commutator is refinished and validated, and key terminals and fasteners are renewed with copper components. That process supports dependable operation in demanding daily-use vehicles, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and related Cadillac and GMC applications.

The Denso Reman Starter line is positioned as a value-focused OE replacement program that recycles usable core materials while restoring the unit to factory-style function. If you need a reman starter for a 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or a 2015-2017 GMC Yukon, part number 280-4252 is built for those exact starting-system requirements.

What It Helps Solve

• Slow or weak engine cranking
