This part cross-references Remy 26640 for the same application.

What This Starter Helps Address

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter wear
• Intermittent starting from worn electrical contacts
• Voltage loss at the starter terminals
• Starter noise related to worn internal components

Installation Notes

Fits 2006-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, N/A. Verify the 12-volt system, clockwise rotation, and 1.7 kW specification before installation. Confirm connector condition, battery health, and charging-system output during diagnosis so the replacement starter is not installed over an unresolved electrical fault. Part number 280-5391 should be matched to the vehicle’s original starter configuration before service.

Quality Assurance

Denso remanufactured starters are subjected to high-voltage testing, commutator refinishing, replacement of terminals and fasteners with copper components, and final bench testing. The reman process is designed to return the starter to factory-original performance standards for Chevrolet Corvette starting systems. Part number 280-5391 is built under Denso’s remanufacturing process for consistent electrical and cranking performance.
