ACDelco Gold 337-1027 Starter

Genuine GM part. Fits and works like it should. No problems or issues

OEM EXACT FIT. I was very unsure since several Starters with different Part Numbers are available for this generation of Sierras 1500 ( 02- 06 ) with no clear information about fitment and some starters having very minimal or almost unnoticeable differences ( had to return another one because it didn't fit ) Anyhow, at least on the 2002 GMC Sierra Denali Quadrasteer with the Vortec 6000 (6.0 liter) this Starter Fits perfectly, and installation was fairly easy. To get an idea on the complexity on the overall replacement process I went on YouTube but to my surprise I found overcomplicated tutorials with one even removing the passenger's wheel and fender liner, at least in my truck not even a Jack I had to use, it went out very easy trough the bottom with minimal maneuvering, removed only the 2 nuts for the cables and the 2 bolts of the Starter. This replaced a burnt/worn-out 23 year old, 200000+ Original and what a difference ! Effortless turns the engine with a tremendous power. It should last a long time if built quality remains as the original Delco Remy, we will see. I prefer this New AC Delco over a refurbished or aftermarket

I received the starter today (11/9/23) . It is an original equipment GM starter. That said, it is not the starter shown in the pictures of this listing. It is also not manufactured in Mexico. It is of Chinese manufacture and not painted black. It is entirely cheaply silver cadmium/zinc plated...with the exception of the aluminum parts.I will be installing this tomorrow so I will update after a few days but initial impressions are not fantastic.It looks exactly like the $59 no-name brands. The only difference I can see is a manufactured for AC Delco sticker on it. There are no other permanent stampings or markings on the entire unit.I have used GM parts for a very long time and this on its face doesn't seem to live up to past parts. It doesn't look like junk but the product you get doesn't match the description in the listing.Update: I installed the starter and have been using it for the past week. Seems to work fine.

Great product

There's never a good time for a starter to go out but I didn't want to settle for some cheap piece of junk. Going with this I saved almost 100$ and still got a quality AC Delco replacement for my 2001 suburban! 256k miles and still going strong!

All this ac Delco starter did was click . gear did not spin .gear did not move forward starter did not work . made in china . AC Delco gold premium starter brand new . Rear of starter assembly offset . No quality testing .

After using my truck an hour earlier when returning to it switching the key on I got nothing but one click. Checked the fuses and then made an attempt to start the solenoid with a screwdriver. I pretty much knew then that I needed a new starter. Have to buy this brand if you all know this kind of thing. It was not easy to get it into my 2002 avalanche 1500 4X4 Z71. We had to access the bolts via the front passenger wheel well to first get them off and also to put them on. In my title I mention the shield of dreams. There is a (heat shield) or whatever the purpose of it is that clips on top of the solenoid over the 3 bolts. The shield has no exacting measure to it. Meaning, I can clip it all over that thing and even move it around after I know I have it in the right spot. What I would do now if I had to do it again is clip it on the right spot (take a photo of the starter/solenoid from the box. And I would use a strong duct tape. Just a couple small pieces on the sides to keep it from moving around. Once we got everything done, turned the key and nothing! Just like before. After we had given up for the (Mother’s) day. I had a thought that the wanky shield could be touching the positive terminal on the solenoid. Told my brother he didn’t think so but then thought maybe it moved when he was squeezing it in there and he had to look right then. Grabbed a screwdriver and moved it saying “it was touching but I don’t think that was it” then we had to put a new 40amp fuse in the fuse box marked “starter” and it fired right up. I have to say that the shield should not be designed that way. My brother works on cars all of the time. His father (my in-law) does a lot of engine work too I myself used to do a lot when I was younger. But we were all stumped and thought it was probably two different things going on at the same time. I feel like we/I was more lucky than clever about finding the problem out. So just beware of that shield. And keep it in mind if your truck doesn’t start right up after installing this starter. Oh, and keep an extra 40amp fuse handy. It was the fuse box under the hood. If your starter rely is clicking at all when you turn your key to start it then it is very likely fine. But check that large fuse named “starter”

This starter was installed to replace the factory original starter in a 2002 Tahoe, which was identical to this product. The factory original lasted only 20 years and I am hoping I can get at least 80 years out of this one, as my expectations are as delusional as I hope the Underground CHUD people will be in 80 years when I replace this one. I mean, it sounds cool, it starts the motor in a 20-year-old vehicle and reminds me of Robocop for some reason. Not for the metallics, but more for its ultimate sacrifice for the good people of New Detroit.
