Something interesting to note - I don't doubt that Denso is a good starter, but that Denso
281-8002 is listed as a 1.2kW motor, while the Remy 96206 is shown as 2.0kW. Maybe they have different gear reductions that make the difference a wash, dunno, I'm no expert! I was just a little surprised by the difference. BTW the Remy 96113 direct drive model is 1.2kW as well (with of course no benefit of gear reduction.)
The part #'s listed for our '06 SS's - Remy 96228 is 1.7kW, while the AC Delco 3371033 is 2.0kW. I've got the AC Delco on my truck, while my wife's got the Remy I had on the shelf when hers went bad. Subjective to be sure but I can "hear" that my starter sounds stronger when cranking.
