A-Premium 12V Starter Motor 1.4 kW — 11-Tooth CW Replacement for GM Vehicles, OEM Fit

The A-Premium 12V 1.4KW starter motor is a direct-replacement automotive starter with 11 teeth and clockwise rotation designed to restore reliable engine cranking on compatible GM and select vehicles.

This heavy-duty replacement starter offers a 1.4 kW power rating and a compact design engineered to match factory fit and function for many Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Hummer, Isuzu, and Saab models from the mid-2000s to early 2010s. It installs where OEM starters use an 11-tooth pinion and clockwise (CW) rotation, making it a practical option when diagnosing slow cranking, grinding, or no-start conditions. Reference numbers included with the unit make cross-checking fitment quick and reduce the chance of ordering the wrong part.

Which vehicles will this A-Premium starter motor fit?

This starter is compatible with a broad range of GM trucks, vans, SUVs and select other vehicles from 2006–2013 when the original unit uses the same tooth count and rotation. Exact fitment depends on model year and engine/transmission combinations, so always verify against your vehicle’s OEM reference numbers and mounting pattern.

• Chevrolet: Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Trailblazer, SSR (various years)
• GMC: Savana, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL (multiple years and trims)
• Cadillac, Hummer, Isuzu, Saab: select Escalade, CTS, H2, NPR, 9-7x model years listed
• Cross-reference listed reference numbers (e.g., 6757N, 12588052) for precise compatibility

How does the starter’s 1.4KW rating and 11-tooth gear affect performance?

The 1.4 kW power rating delivers sufficient torque for reliable engine engagement in the intended vehicle range, while the 11-tooth pinion and clockwise rotation ensure mechanical compatibility with the flywheel ring gear. Choosing the correct teeth count and rotation prevents premature wear and avoids improper engagement or clearance issues.

• 1.4 kW output provides consistent cranking force for gasoline V6 and V8 engines found in many listed models
• 11 teeth match the mating ring gear to prevent gear damage and ensure smooth engagement
• Clockwise (CW) rotation aligns with factory starters for the specified vehicles
• OEM-style mount pattern simplifies installation without major modifications

What should I check before replacing my starter with this unit?

Confirm the electrical and mechanical details of your existing starter before purchase. Matching volt, tooth count, rotation, and reference numbers will minimize installation errors and ensure proper function.

• Verify the starter’s voltage: 12V is required for these applications
• Count the pinion teeth on your old starter — this unit requires 11 teeth
• Confirm rotation direction is clockwise (CW) to match your vehicle
• Compare OEM/reference numbers and mounting bolt pattern for fitment certainty

How easy is installation and what tools are typically needed?

Installation is generally straightforward for mechanically inclined DIYers or professional technicians; removal often requires basic hand tools and safe battery-disconnection procedures. Access to the starter may vary by vehicle, and some models require lifting the vehicle or removing nearby components for clearance.

• Basic sockets, wrenches, and possibly a torque wrench for proper reassembly
• Battery terminal wrenches to disconnect power before starting work
• Jack and stands or ramps if under-vehicle access is necessary
• Reference a repair manual or vehicle service guide for torque specs and steps

Who this is for: This A-Premium starter suits vehicle owners, independent mechanics, and repair shops replacing worn or failed starters on mid-2000s to early-2010s GM platforms and compatible makes that require a 12V, 1.4 kW unit with 11 teeth and clockwise rotation. It’s intended for buyers who need a cost-effective, OEM-pattern replacement and who will verify fitment using year, model, and reference numbers before ordering.
