DENSO 280-5369 First Time Fit Remanufactured Starter Motor

The DENSO 280-5369 First Time Fit® Remanufactured Starter Motor delivers factory-original cranking performance backed by decades of OE manufacturing expertise. As a longtime OEM supplier to the world's leading automakers, DENSO brings unmatched engineering insight to every remanufactured starter — resulting in the lowest return rates in the replacement aftermarket.

Each unit undergoes a rigorous, multi-stage remanufacturing process that goes well beyond a basic rebuild. DENSO's gear-reduction starter design is an industry benchmark, renowned for being so rugged and powerful that it is frequently adapted for racing applications.

Remanufacturing Process Highlights:

• Armature & Field Coils — High-voltage tested to verify electrical integrity and ensure reliable performance
• Commutator — Refinished and performance-validated to OE specifications
• Terminals & Fasteners — Replaced with premium copper components for a clean, low-resistance electrical connection
• Bearings, Brushes & Seals — All-new components installed during every remanufacture
• Housing — Re-tapped to OE standards and inspected for heat warping, corrosion, and surface alignment
• Pinion Gear — Inspected and replaced as needed to meet engineering specifications
• Bench Testing — Every finished starter is individually bench-tested through over 29 performance and safety checks to confirm factory-original output

Key Benefits:

• Maximum cranking torque across a full range of operating conditions
• Compact, lightweight gear-reduction design — a class leader in size and weight
• Engineered to start reliably in both extreme cold and high-heat environments
• Environmentally responsible choice — reuses valuable components and reduces raw material waste

DENSO First Time Fit® remanufactured starters are built to OE standards using the same engineering knowledge applied to original-equipment production. Every core is subjected to stringent quality control before being accepted for remanufacturing, ensuring only the best foundation parts make it into the finished product.
