Part Description
This starter motor was removed from a 2008 GM Colorado equipped with a 2.9L engine. The part has been professionally inspected by our team and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment. This OEM starter motor maintains the original factory specifications and mounting points for proper fitment.
