Product Details

The DENSO 280-0278 is a premium remanufactured starter motor backed by over 60 years of DENSO's experience as an OEM supplier to major automakers. This First Time Fit® starter delivers factory-original performance with the reliability and value that comes from DENSO's rigorous remanufacturing process.

Remanufacturing Process:

  • Armatures and field coils undergo high-voltage testing to ensure reliable electrical performance
  • Commutators are precision-refinished and performance-validated
  • All bearings, brushes, and seals are replaced with new components
  • Terminals and fasteners upgraded to premium copper components for optimal current flow
  • Each unit is bench-tested to verify factory-specification cranking performance

Performance Benefits:

  • Maximum cranking torque under all operating conditions
  • Engineered to perform reliably in both extreme cold and hot weather
  • Compact, lightweight design based on DENSO's industry-benchmark gear-reduction technology
  • Lowest return rates in the replacement aftermarket

DENSO remanufactured starters deliver exceptional value while supporting environmental responsibility through recycling of valuable components and raw materials. Each starter meets or exceeds OE specifications for reliable, long-lasting performance.

Finding the part, and ordering it was great. But UPS dropped the otherwise phenomenal ball... Ordered the item on Wednesday... got it the next MONDAY. I ordered it Second Day Air. Then I find out, "Oh, it's Second BUSINESS Day Air... we don't work on weekends." Well, it was a critical auto part, that's why I ordered it Second Day Air... but they were unconcerned. If I were to order from here again it would only be if I could choose some other option of delivery, like USPS... they actually DO deliver on the weekends.
