Review on Enhance Performance and Reliability with GM Genuine Parts 12670255 Starter by Josel Lambert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

LLY 6.6L 2005 - not full size weak starter

The first thing that bothered me was that the original motor that came with the LLY Duramax was about 3 inches larger than this ACDelco motor. My second problem was that when I turned the engine over, the engine sounded like new; however very weak. It had no boost or raw power and over time I saw this engine fail very quickly. My third and final issue with this product, when I went online to check if this starter was actually suitable for LLY Duramax or any Duramax I couldn't get the information. There is no fitting information on the ACDelco website, just like the Revain listing. (learn more about ACDelco). This starter is probably for a Chevy 1500 with a smaller engine, not a 6.6 liter diesel. I bought a full size (refurbished) starter for $185 from NAPA. I challenge you to do the same. You could hear the raw performance difference from the one I bought in Napa. Also, I don't want to enjoy the weekend and have to deal with starting problems. I'm very frustrated, I had to waste my valuable time swapping starters twice. Don't make the same mistake, buy one from NAPA, or at least a "full size" starter.

Pros
  • New
Cons
