Replacing the Starter in a 6.7L Cummins with an XDP Gear Reduction Starter

- A DIY video for replacing the starter in a 6.7L Cummins. After having my parts store replacement starter die prematurely, I decided to replace mine with a gear reduction starter from XDP. Gear reduction starters are supposed turn your engine over quicker and easier while drawing less amperage with a faster, more efficient motor.
Starter works great after install and does appear to start the engine faster. I will update with long term info in the future.

What is that bar you had to take off
Do you mean the bracket connecting the block and the transmission? Its just a brace between the engine and transmission. I believe its actual name is an adapter plate bracket brace. From what I heard, it might not be installed on all years of the truck.
thats how mine sounds if its got a low battery meaning it should always crank and start that easy or easier. Both of mine will fire by the 3rd rrrrrr. good video
Thanks!
That is a darn nice video with really great views. Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it, thank you for watching!
I'm changing one out now and the top bolt broke loose but it acts like it is cross threaded.
If you already loosened the other bolts it may just be the starter sagging and pulling on that top bolt. Try and support the starter and see if it is any easier to remove. If it is in fact cross threaded, you might have to go with a heli-coil or another means of thread repair.
@@cheesingarage na it's definitely not sagging. It acts like all of the weight of the starter is hanging on that 1 bolt, but I tightened it bottom ones back up.
@@colt45northtexas Hmmm...Could be either really corroded or, like you said, cross threaded. Your best bet might just be to spray it with penetrating oil and muscle it out hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
Holy rust batman
Yup. Unfortunately that's what 288k in the north east will do.
@@cheesingarage good video though 👍
@@brandonrasmussen6692 Thanks I appreciate it!
Mine doesn't have the bracket to remove on my 2012 , maybe because manual trans? Anyways, super easy and takes me like 20 minutes, got 230k out of the OEM starter, trying a Napa one now.
Good to know! It could be the auto vs manual or the 3rd gen vs 4th gen, I am not sure. Yea the OEM starter lasted me close to 250k also, that's why I was so disappointed that the other started didn't last. Hopefully you have better luck with your Napa one!
@@cheesingarage been good so far, I'm no expert, but maybe u are supposed to shim them or something, it's starts Everytime, but seems like I have to push the clutch through the floorboard lol
Help me out I can’t get the plug off and I don’t understand how to get it off
Did you figure it out?
my starter died on my 2021 6.7 2500. 14+K miles. This is unreal to me... Was expecting this to last sooo much longer. Replaced under warranty but I wonder how long the new one will last?
That's crazy! Hopefully you have better luck with the new one. My stock one lasted a 'normal' life, it was the reman from the parts store that sucked.
Thanks for watching!
How is this starter holding up? Does it still holds its speed?
Still holding up great, works the same as when I installed it
I thought it had gear reduction from the factory
I see it is a little bit smaller.
I believe you are correct but the ratio is not as aggressive as this one which is 5.5:1
How is that starter holding up? Im on reman #4 this summer from advance/oreillys
No issues so far but its only been about 6 months since I installed it. Feels/sounds like the engine turns over easier but that could just be in my head haha. Seems like those parts store remans just aren't built to last unfortunately. I feel your pain there. Thanks for watching!
How long did the whole thing take you ?
This was a little while back, but it was less than an hour I believe. But always remember, every 15 minute job is one broken/stripped bolt away from a 3 hour ordeal. haha
Appreciate the video but these videos are for information to us your viewers. Don't care about the the dance 💃🤸♀️ party music you had going on in the back round 😂😂😂😂 thx though
Hahaha, its hard finding good royalty free music
