Detailed Product Overview

The WAI 19616N starter is engineered for direct-fit service on a wide range of late-model Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Volkswagen vehicles. It is a strong match for drivers searching for a starter for 2014-2023 Ram ProMaster 3500, a starter for 2014-2021 Ram ProMaster 1500 or ProMaster 2500, and a replacement starter for 2011-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan or 2011-2016 Chrysler Town & Country. The 19616N part number also cross-references BBB Industries 19616 for the same application.

Built as a new unit with proprietary components and processes, this starter is specified to deliver the amp output needed for modern vehicle electrical demands. The flange-mounted, clockwise-rotation design with 10 teeth supports OE-style replacement where the original starter matches the DENSO family configuration.
