Oil pan bolt spacing measurements

Since we're on the subject of starters; what are your opinions on starter upgrades say from Powermaster? I still have my original starter and I'm considering an upgrade to go with my new GEP motor.

I've heard a lot of praise on the Powermaster starter. but ak diesel driver and Will L. are veterans who can tell you much better than I can

I like mine. You should be fine with the 40 on the starter bolts

 

[Will L.]

YES on powermaster 9052. Best starter I ever had. You won't believe haw much better it starts the engine.

I destroyed my case offroading when it held the weight of my hummer on a huge piece of rebar someone drove in the ground as a winch anchor point. I cam down top of the hill and landed on it. Found out after throwing the pieces in the trash that they would have redone it for me for a rebuld cost. If they are rebuilding one for you and it isn't salvageable, they give you a new starter at rebuild cost.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm excited to upgrade.

is there a torque spec for the starter bolts in the book? I wish I had access to one!

I have service manuals for that truck for sale

If your gonna own and work on the truck yourself- get a manual or subscription to online one.
