Product Details

WAI 17937N is engineered for vehicles that require a compact, gear-reduction starter with the correct tooth count, rotation, and mounting style. It cross-references BBB Industries 17937 and Mopar R6044735AB for the same application. This starter is a direct replacement option for Jeep Commander, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Liberty models listed in the fitment data, and it is built as a 100% new unit rather than a remanufactured assembly.

Common Starting Issues It Can Address

• Engine cranks slowly or inconsistently
• No-crank condition caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starting after key turn
• Grinding or weak engagement at startup
• Electrical starting-system replacement on Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee, or Liberty

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and starter configuration before installation. Confirm 12-volt system requirements, clockwise rotation, 10-tooth drive count, and flange mount style match the original unit. For best results, inspect battery condition, cable connections, and charging-system output before replacing the starter.

Quality Assurance

WAI states that its starters are engineered to deliver the amperage output needed for modern vehicles. The 17937N is manufactured as a new starter using proprietary components and processes intended to support long service life and consistent performance.
