Works great - Starter

I read reviews of this part from fleet owners and decided to give it a try. The one I bought has been in my truck for 6 years now and works great. The main danger is to take care of your batteries because if the battery dies it will ruin your starter.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Weight

Works perfectly! the best among starters and parts

I was a bit apprehensive about buying this starter because of the cost and reviews. But I'm definitely glad I did it. I've been using it for several months and it has worked flawlessly every time. My local dealer wanted $450 for the starter and all my local parts stores wanted over $250. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Some bugs

Good starter - spare parts

I had the starter on a 07 GMC Sierra 2500 6.6 diesel for a few weeks and it works perfectly, starts right away but have concluded that one of my 2 batteries was just plain weak but still for the price the starter there is no complaint, will give up if or if the starter has problems but so far so good and looks brand new

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

CHEAP STARTER, hands off!

I bought this starter on 01/25/2017 and since 04/10/2017 it has stopped working. The price is cheap because the product is cheap. Don't waste your money, buy a branded starter. DB Electrical does not even cover the manufacturer's warranty. Luckily, Revain has great customer service and got my order back.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I will not say anything

Good price decent quality lasted 3 1/2 years under heavy use before failing

Review Updated - Purchased 3/2018 Purchased several DB Electrical starters over the years. Always lucky. It's October 2021 and it just needed replacing so we've had multiple launches every day for 3 1/2 years. The service life is better than discount car dealerships.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not the best

2 starters later is good for starters and parts

The first starter I got was bad when I touched the negative battery terminal the engine started without a key. sent back. The second starter did the same after just a few starts. Now I have to pay shipping and wait. This truck didn't move. This is Durmax. I do injectors and CP3. I would not buy this AGAIN! I'm not sending them back either. Shipping was too expensive. Beware.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

By the power of ZEUS!

I don't know which god will help me start the engine now, but thank God! The factory starter failed and decided it would run if it wanted to. This new starter now starts my truck (01 2500hd duramax) in less than a second, my radio doesn't go off or anything. My 12 volt power is still there. It's great when I'm listening to music or something and driving through a car, I can just turn the sound off and turn off the truck, place an order and start the truck again and I don't have to wait for…

Pros
  • One year probationary period
Cons
  • Disappearance

Custom Part - Starter

I bought this for a 2003 Chevy Silverado with Duramax. It arrived on time, fit well and worked great for two weeks until the solenoid failed. I knew I was taking a risk buying cheap parts so I'm not really surprised or even disappointed, just consider this: to replace the starter motor with a Duramax you need to remove the fender skirt and disconnect the exhaust pipe. Even then it's tight and what should be a 30 minute job takes about two hours (knuckle banging and wrist scraping). There's a…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Will not fit all

Great value for money Parts

I have always been an O'rielly parts dealer but I took a chance and ordered this starter based on the price and description. The product looked and matched the factory starter to T and is still providing excellent service many years later. Don't let the price fool you, it's half the factory price. The starter is well made and in fact I changed the factory starter 2 times before buying this DB Electricl SHI0116 starter. I was disappointed with factory or GM products as I never knew they would…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Little things
