MPA Electrical TS-1785 Starter

Overview

MPA Electrical TS-1785 is a remanufactured starter for heavy-duty Freightliner applications that use a 12V, 7.2 kW, 12-tooth clockwise pinion design. It is built for direct replacement use in compatible charging and starting systems, with fitment covering multiple Freightliner models from 2001 through 2014.

Key Features

• Remanufactured starter for 12V starting systems
• 7.2 kW output with 12-tooth clockwise pinion
• 39MT IMS configuration with 82-degree solenoid position
• 0.53-inch mounting holes for application-specific fitment
• Compatible with multiple Freightliner medium- and heavy-duty platforms

Detailed Description

This MPA Electrical starter, part number TS-1785, is specified for Freightliner trucks and chassis that require the listed 12V 7.2 kW starter configuration. Fitment includes Freightliner 108SD, 114SD, Cascadia, XC Lowered Rail, XC Raised Rail, Condor, FL80, Columbia, XC, MB Line, and MT45 applications across the listed model years. The remanufactured construction makes TS-1785 a practical replacement when the original starter no longer cranks reliably or does not match the required electrical and mounting specifications.

MPA Electrical TS-1785 is a fitment-based replacement, so matching the starter’s electrical rating, pinion direction, solenoid position, and mounting-hole specification is important before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• No-crank condition caused by starter failure
• Slow or inconsistent engine cranking
• Electrical starting issues tied to worn internal starter components
• Replacement for a starter that no longer matches the required 12V 7.2 kW specification
• Service repair on Freightliner commercial vehicles with the listed fitment

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s starter specification against the listed 12V, 7.2 kW, 12-tooth clockwise pinion, 39MT IMS, and solenoid-position details before installation. Confirm the mounting-hole size and application notes for the exact Freightliner model and year. Professional installation is recommended for commercial starting-system service.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactured components are built as replacement parts for starting-system service, with application-specific fitment defined by the manufacturer and catalog data.
