Finishing a clutch job on my 1993 K1500 with 5spd manual trans and 4WD. While I am at it I want to replace the starter as it is
the original unit and is tired. I plan to just buy a reman' from Rock Auto and there seems to be several choices for the year and model
of my truck. The choices are either a starter with an 8mm electrical post, a 10mm post, a smooth and not stepped down casing, or a stepped
down casing. Also some starters have a higher kW rating which I assume means that they have a higher cranking torque. Will any or all of
these starters fit my application? I don't see any clearance issues as there seems to be plenty of room for any starter stepped or un-stepped.
I am inclined to just buy the starter with the highest kW rating. BTY, the old starter is un-stepped and has an 8mm post. It was always
doggy and seemed marginal for the job. What do you think is best? Post size is a very minor issue to deal with.
Thanks
