This is a 12-volt replacement starter rated at 1.7 kW with a 12-tooth clockwise drive, built for GM's 3.0L and 3.6L V6 engines. It fits a long list of Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac and Saturn models from the mid-2000s through 2020, including the Enclave, Traverse, Acadia, SRX, Impala and Equinox. It is a direct-fit remanufactured-style unit aimed at owners doing their own repair rather than buying a dealer part. Compared with a new OEM starter it is a budget option; the trade-off is that rebuild quality varies and some units arrive faulty or fail early.
