Mean Green Gear Reduction Starter 7215 – 1989-1993 Dodge 5.9L 12-Valve Cummins

Tired of slow cranking, hot-start issues, or a heavy stock starter that just doesn’t keep up? The Mean Green 7215 Gear Reduction Starter is the high-torque solution built for the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins.

This compact starter delivers 100% more torque than a stock unit thanks to its 4.4:1 gear reduction. It spins high-compression engines with authority—even when the engine is heat-soaked—while solving the classic Cummins hot-start problems.

Key Features

• Five bearings total (including roller bearing support on the tool-steel driveshaft and armature) for exceptional durability
• Heat-resistant integrated solenoid that keeps working in extreme temperatures
• 3" tool-steel driveshaft supported at both ends + stainless-steel pinion shaft
• Compact design—roughly 1/3 the size of a stock starter—for better oil-pan and header clearance
• Expected service life up to 300,000 miles
• No core charge required
• Direct-fit replacement with easy installation
