Detailed Description

Power Select starters are engineered to deliver the amperage output needed for modern vehicles with higher electrical demands. This 6942R starter combines a DELCO family design with permanent magnet gear reduction architecture, 12-volt operation, and an 11-tooth drive to match the requirements listed in the fitment data. It is a practical replacement for Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Isuzu NPR-series applications, along with additional Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Freightliner, Thor Motor Coach, and Workhorse fitments. The 6942R is also cross-referenced to BBB Industries 6942 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Restoring engine cranking when the original starter no longer engages reliably
• Addressing slow or weak starts caused by worn internal starter components
• Replacing a starter with incorrect rotation or drive gear count
• Correcting fitment issues on vehicles requiring a pad-mount, 11-tooth Delco PMGR starter

Installation Notes

Verify voltage, rotation, mounting type, and tooth count against the original unit before installation. Fitment includes multiple Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Isuzu NPR, and related commercial applications, so confirm the exact year, model, and notes shown in the fitment table. Use the listed application details to match the starter to the vehicle’s original configuration.
