DirtyComanche Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 That starter makes more torque than the 2.5L it's bolted to...
87Warrior Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 That starter makes more torque than the 2.5L it's bolted to...That's no lie!
mjeff87 Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Not to pick nits, but does it actually fit a 2.5L? Those starters mount to the underside of the block, not the bellhousing.....
DirtyComanche Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I'm sure it's a case of the image being a generic product representation.
64 Cheyenne Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Paid less for whole Jeeps, even an MJ for$100 bucks... Honestly, unless I was running a stroker...
TheDude Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I'm just curious if it actually makes a difference. 1989 Jeep Comanche 4.0L 5 Speed 4x4 Long Bed 1991 Jeep Comanche 2.5L 5 speed Red Short Bed
64 Cheyenne Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I don't have a stroker, but I'd imagine yes. If for a stock motor and if your experiencing slow cranking speeds due to elec problem like battery, cables, and grounds I doubt it, probably wouldnt be good for any starter, even a high torque one, to be operated with than less than optimal available amperage. Elec motors don't like being asked to work without enough juice, causes them to heat up, eventually fail sooner.
87Warrior Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 It is a starter you would use to start the vehicle while in gear quite regularly. Common practice by some when wheeling a manual in the rocks. The procedure was even mentioned in the TJ owners manual and provided instructions on how to bypass the clutch. interlock.
HOrnbrod Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Paid less for whole Jeeps, even an MJ for$100 bucks... Honestly, unless I was running a stroker... Unless the stroker motor has a considerably higher compression ratio than stock, the difference in amp draw will be negligible.
big66440 Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 That starter makes more torque than the 2.5L it's bolted to... You can crank the engine while you're racing and use it like a cheater NOS set up , kill 2 birds with one stone
mnkyboy Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 That's on my list,if i kill another stock starter I'm going to get one. It's also nice because they don't have a nose cone like factory,currently i run a modified nose cone to clear my inertia ring,the mean green doesn't interfere with it.

gregz0r Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I got one a few years back for my Cherokee and then when I sold that I transfered it to my Comanche. Been running strong for 6+ years now without an issue even with accidently forgetting to disconnect the battery before removing the starter.

cruiser54 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Upgrade your cables instead. It will spin faster. http://cruiser54.com/?p=19
HOrnbrod Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 ^^ This. Also, if necessary, replace your tired old OEM starter with a good quality new or NOS unit for $50-$70. I just replaced my original 25 year old starter with a NOS unit and the motor spins at twice the RPM as before when starting.

Also it looks like you can use different holes for mounting? That would be nice so the solenoid could be rotated a bit away from the larger oil filters I use.

Yes they are able to be clocked in different locations depending on how much clearance you might need.
