Powermaster 19416 Ultra Torque Starter, 2.5 kW, Chrome, Jeep 4.0L

Powermaster's 19416 Ultra Torque starter is a gear-reduction unit for late-model Jeep 4.0L engines, finished in chrome with a billet aluminum mounting block and a 4.4:1 gear reduction. Output and cranking power Powermaster rates this starter at 2.5 kW and 3.4 horsepower, with the Ultra Torque series delivering 250 ft-lbs of cranking torque suited to engines running up to 18:1 compression, well beyond what a stock Jeep starter is built to turn over. The mount is adjustable, and the starter spins clockwise. Clearance and mounting Headers and oil pans that crowd out a stock starter generally clear this one, and on a tight swap the whole unit can go in upside down, solenoid pointing down, for extra room. Powermaster does not list specific model years for this 4.0L Jeep application, so confirm fitment against your exact Jeep before ordering. Who it suits This starter suits a late-model Jeep 4.0L owner who has raised compression or hit clearance issues with headers or an oversized oil pan, and wants more cranking torque than a stock starter provides along with the finished chrome look.
