Parts Player Starter for Dodge Durango 5.7L (R6044736AC) — 12V 1.4 kW CW 10-Tooth OE-Style Replacement

This new aftermarket starter is built to match OE fit and function for a long list of Chrysler 5.7L vehicles from 2009 through 2025. It delivers clockwise (CW) rotation, a 10-tooth pinion, and a 1.4 kW motor to engage flywheels on gasoline V8 engines. The unit ships as a single piece without mounting bolts, so you'll want to reuse originals or purchase hardware separately. Multiple OEM and aftermarket reference numbers—including 56044736AC, M000T20972, M000T23271, and R6044736AC—help confirm compatibility with your specific model and year.

Will this starter fit my Dodge Durango or Ram 5.7L?

Compatibility covers many Chrysler products fitted with the 5.7L HEMI V8. Always cross-check the part references and the starter's rotation and tooth count with your vehicle's original unit before ordering. If your truck or SUV uses a 10-tooth, clockwise rotation starter and matches any of the listed OE numbers, this Parts Player unit is a suitable replacement.

• Compatible models include Dodge Durango (2011–2025) and multiple Ram 1500/2500/3500 variants (2009–2020 depending on trim).
• Reference numbers: 56044736AC, M000T20972, M000T23271, R6044736AC, and equivalents.

How does the starter perform compared with OEM units?

This replacement is designed to mirror OE electrical and mechanical characteristics, offering the same mounting footprint, pinion engagement, and starter motor output for dependable starting. The 1.4 kW power rating provides sufficient torque for cranking 5.7L gasoline engines while matching the original specifications for most applications.

• Power: 1.4 kW motor tuned for V8 cranking loads.
• Electrical spec: 12V standard vehicle system compatibility.
• Mounting: uses the OE-style flange and alignment—mounting hardware not included.

What should I prepare before installation?

Because the starter ships without mounting bolts or additional hardware, inspect and retain the original fasteners where possible or buy replacement bolts to OE torque specs. Also verify battery health and clean the battery and chassis ground connections to ensure proper current delivery during startup.

• Retain or replace mounting bolts—hardware not supplied with the product.
• Check battery voltage and terminal condition before testing.
• Confirm starter rotation (CW) and 10-tooth pinion match your vehicle.
