Mean Green Gear Reduction Starter — 2007–2019 Dodge / Ram 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins — MG9029

Mean Green gear reduction starter with 4.4:1 reduction for the 2007–2019 Dodge / Ram 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins.

A gear reduction starter uses a smaller, faster motor through a reduction gearset. The result is more cranking torque from a lighter unit that draws less current — which is what you want on a cold morning with a battery that is no longer new.

The Mean Green starter produces 100% more torque than the heavy factory unit it replaces, through a 4.4:1 gear reduction with roller bearing support and an integrated solenoid. A 3 in tool-steel driveshaft runs on bearings at both ends.

Static compression is what defeats a tired starter on a diesel. More torque at the pinion is the direct answer to it.
