Starter Motors?
- Thread starter DR1
- Start date
For what kind of vehicle, many different manufactures out there.. Kind of difficult to answer that question.
Denso who likely supplied OEM.

I experienced the nightmare that is non-OE starters when I was A teen. Never again. It’s OE or nothing for me now.
Denso offers my starter but it is a remanufactured starter. Thoughts?
Echo your sentiments. Same Denso re-manufactured starter for my application. I have faith in Denso (Japan)
Do yourself a favor and save a pile of money too. Take yours to a local rebuilder. Then you’ll know it’s right .I’ve never paid over $100 for any type in 30+ years. I never had one die on me again either beyond a couple that wore brushes in time. Look for starter shop or DC Motor repair in the phone book or net listings.
Are you planning to proactively replace it ?
If I have to go non-OEM, I tend to go Denso.
It's likely a Mitsubishi starter.
Kinda off topic, Denso Gear Reduction Starters were the pinnacle of starter design....Unfortunately, VERY few modern cars use this design anymore because of Cost & Packaging. Not even Toyota....Yes they use a Denso starter, But a more compact planetary reduction starter that's not nearly as robust.

I know this might not be an acceptable option for you, but just sharing my experiences, Rockauto sells NEW starters by TYC which I was skeptical at 1st but after installing atleast 30-40 of them over the last 2 years - none came back with issues. Lifetime warranty and all new components.
I've bought re-manufacturerd stuff aswell, (brake calipers) but likely due to having a low volume car I actually received brand new parts.
