Product Details

The DENSO 280-5396 First Time Fit® Remanufactured Starter Motor is a precision-rebuilt starter engineered to deliver factory-original performance and reliability. Built by the same company that supplies starter motors to the world's top automakers, this remanufactured unit undergoes one of the most rigorous quality control processes in the aftermarket industry — resulting in some of the lowest return rates of any remanufactured starter on the market.

Every core accepted for remanufacturing is put through a comprehensive multi-step inspection and rebuilding process before it leaves the facility. Components that don't meet DENSO's strict standards are rejected outright — ensuring only the best cores become finished products.

Remanufacturing Process Highlights:

  • Armature cleaned and high-voltage tested to verify insulation integrity and reliable performance
  • Field coil inspected and high-voltage tested to ensure consistent electromagnetic output
  • Solenoid coil 100% voltage tested for dependable engagement
  • Commutator polished, gauged, and performance-validated to OE tolerances
  • All terminal bolts re-plated or replaced with premium copper components for a clean, low-resistance electrical connection
  • Housing re-tapped to OE standards and inspected for heat warping, corrosion, and surface alignment issues
  • Pinion gear inspected and replaced as needed to meet original engineering specifications
  • All-new bearings, brushes, and seals installed on every unit
  • Each unit bench-tested to confirm factory-original performance before shipment

Key Benefits:

  • Maximum cranking torque under all operating conditions
  • Compact gear-reduction design — a class leader in size and weight
  • Engineered for reliable cold- and hot-weather starting
  • A sustainable choice — remanufacturing recycles valuable components and raw materials

The DENSO 280-5396 is a smart, environmentally responsible alternative to a new starter, offering OE-level performance and dependability at a remanufactured price point. UPC: 042511211261.

DELCO REMY OE

Great experience. Fast shipping. Item arrived in good shape.

I was pretty happy with the service. I ordered the part on a Sunday afternoon and paid $9.99 for 2 day delivery and it arrived on Friday 5 days later so not sure I got what I paid for in that regard.

I received exactly what I ordered and shipping was on time

Great, but I thought that it would come sooner for $20.00

The website was easy to navigate and your facility was the only one that had the product.
