Mean Green 6600 Gear Reduction Starter

I installed this starter on my 2009 LMM, I’ve never heard a starter spin up a diesel this quickly. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I want to see how long that lasts.

Overpriced ,not worth additional money. Tried having replace under their warranty and they wouldn't even call me back.

I ORDERED ONE OF THESE STARTERS FOR MY 02 LB7 AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION OF IT BEING 1/3 SMALLER AND 4.4 TO 1 GEAR REDUCTION WITH 100% MORE STARTING POWER OVER STOCK. WHEN I RECEIVED THE NEW STARTER MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THAT IT LOOKED THE SAME AS THE OLD ONE, WHEN I LAID THEM DOWN SIDE BY SIDE THERE IS NO DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE IN SIZE OR BUILD. SO I FIGURED THE DIFFERENCE MUST BE INTERNAL SO I DECIDED TO TAKE THEM BOTH APART. THE STOCK STARTER HAS AN 11 TOOTH GEAR DRIVING A 41 TOOTH GEAR TO THE OUTPUT GEAR AND THE MEAN GREEN HAS THE EXACT SAME DOWN TO THE FRACTION OF AN INCH IN TOOTH SIZE ETC. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT THE REAL RATIO IT 3.73 TO 1, NOT THE 4.4 TO 1 AS ADVERTIZED. THE WINDINGS IN THE MOTORS ARE THE SAME THE EMPIEDENCE THE NUMBER OF COILS THE SIZE OF WIRE THE WAY THE BRUSHES AND CAGE ARE BUILT ARE THE SAME THE STATOR AND WIRE GAUGE THE WAY THE WINDINGS ARE BUILT EVEN THE WAY THE WIRE IS FUSED TO THE SOLENOID AND THE HARDWARE IS THE SAME. SO JUST FOR FUN I ALSO WENT ON AMAZON AND PURCHASED A STOCK $85 STARTER JUST TO FIND IT TO ALSO BE IDENTICAL TO BOTH OF THE STARTERS. THE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE OF PEOPLE SHOWING BEFORE AND AFTER STOCK STARTER AND MEAN GREEN STARTER ARE OF A TRUCK THAT NEEDS A NEW STARTER ALREADY WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE REPLACING IT AND A NEW STARTER MORE OR LESS A STOCK STARTER WITH A MEAN GREEN STICKER ON THE SIDE OF IT, SO OF COURSE A NEW STARTER IS GOING TO WORK BETTER
