Detailed Description

This Remy starter is engineered for direct replacement in 1983-1985 Dodge Ram 50, 1983-1985 Dodge Power Ram 50, and 1983-1985 Mitsubishi Mighty Max applications. It also covers 1983 Mitsubishi Mighty Max built from mid-1983 and to mid-1983, making it a fitment-specific solution for trucks that require the correct Mitsubishi-style starter configuration. If you are searching for a starter for a 1984 Mitsubishi Mighty Max or a starter for a 1985 Dodge Ram 50, part number 16853 matches the listed application data.

The offset gear reduction design helps deliver the starter engagement characteristics required by these vehicles, while the open nose configuration and 10 pinion teeth support proper alignment with the engine’s starting system. Use this starter when replacing a worn unit on a Mitsubishi Mighty Max or Dodge Ram 50 platform that calls for the specified 12V clockwise-rotation starter.

Common Starting System Issues It Can Address

  • Engine cranking slowly or not cranking at all
  • Starter motor clicking without engine engagement
  • Intermittent starting caused by worn internal starter components
  • Starter drive engagement problems related to pinion wear
  • Electrical starting failure on listed Mitsubishi and Dodge truck applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and starter configuration before installation. Verify 12-volt system requirements, clockwise rotation, open nose design, and 10-tooth pinion match the removed unit. Compare the OE manufacturer reference and interchange numbers to the original starter to ensure correct application on Mitsubishi Mighty Max, Dodge Ram 50, or Dodge Power Ram 50 trucks.

Quality Assurance

Remy Premium Remanufactured parts are remanufactured electrical components built for application-specific replacement in starting and charging systems. Part number 16853 is listed with OE manufacturer reference Mitsubishi and multiple interchange numbers for application matching.
