Re: {Chrysler 300} 61 starter recommdations

I had a similar problem with my G. Would crank and crank. Battery, cables etc, checked out ok. Brought the starter to a re-builder who replaced the armature, solenoid and bushings ($140). It has been three years now and it starts up like a charm.

I don’t intend to crash the party but why use a modern gear reduction starter when it is easier, really, easier to have your starter repaired? I just had a starter for a 55 Imperial repaired for $80. Bolted back in and it works. No metal grinding, no extra-long cables, and it will sound like it should when you crank it.

Remember that sticker on the air cleaners of GM cars, “Keep your GM car all GM”?

I avoid doing things like this unless I have no option.

Is it the correct, original starter ? Maybe rebuilt that one, rather than jury-rigging an aftermarket one.

Hello all I got the G running and driving! Finally.

It is very hard to start when hot, the starter barley turns the motor over. Cranks fine cold, and I just put in a new group 27 battery.

It feels like the starter is tired.

Is there a high torque starter that will bolt onto the bellhousing? I’m running the cast iron torqueflite.

Any recommendations?

Thanks Mike
