Starter motor Bosch or AC DELCO

DIYer advice: when I go on RockAuto's website, I see that Bosch offers 2 different starter motors: one for the manual, with 0.8 kW, and one for the automatic, with 1.0kW (click on the Info buttons for that information).

I replaced on my 2016 with a brand new Bosch. In 2019. Still going strong

I have the Bosch Starter for my 3.0, my last replacement from autozone that was 200+ didn’t even last 2 years, Bosch still going strong and I have cheap duratrash as a backup in my tool chest but it’s been collecting dust!!

I submitted the VIN # to the dealer and he said it is the Bosch starter...$591...

from rock auto a Bosch new starter is $190.00 CDN for an automatic

Modern Bosch starters are smaller and way lighter (17lbs vs 8lbs) than the stock ones.

For anyone having this issue with a 454 7.4L Big Block Chevy Starter; PLEASE get a NEW ACDELCO starter with brand new knurled bolts from NAPA. I’ve had this side for months where my starter pinion would get stuck to my flywheel and grind till my flywheel shaved.

One was from rock auto and was new Bosch. It looked different than the one in the car but matched overall length and teeth. The other one was a rebuilt bosch from advance auto. They tested it for me in house before I left. I can hear the gear spin but not engaging.

I think the napa one is most likely to last more than 10 minutes. But my car is on its 5th starter with barely over 100k miles because the previous owners mechanic kept using anything but Bosch.

Bosch reman last 10k for me
