Pete M Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Are the 2.5L starters like 4.0L starters or like 2.8L starters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabz Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I don't know about 2.8 starters, but the 4.0 starters bolt in from front to rear through the BH and the 2.5's have 2 bolts straight up like a SBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Which ones aren't interchangeable? All of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'd guess all. I mean, the 2.8 is a chevy V6. The 2.5 is a I4 thingo that's been around a while. And the 4.0 is an I6 designed (basically) by AMC back in what, '62? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 The 2.5L shares transmissions with the 2.8L, which is why I would guess they would share starters, but I don't own a 2.5L, so I can't check (the question was posed to me by another owner).

jage Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 No the 2.8L starter is different than the 2.5 L - they're not even similar. I have a nice 2.8L starter if anyone wants it! I also have a starter off a 4.0L if anyone wants that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 X3 each is a different one :cry: I'm still trying to figure out why they put the 2.5 oil filter DIRECTLY ABOVE the starter/solenoid. There's no way to avoid dumping oil on it every time you do an oil change. :headpop: :headpop: :headpop: Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XJs4Ever Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I'm the enquiring mind who wants to know. I will drop the one from my 2.5 and see if I can swap the actual motor/solenoid from the 4.0 to the 2.5 and if not then its back to the boneyard with a core. they just didn't have any 2.5s out there so I grabbed a 4.0 for $15. it was worth the try. rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
