Our take on the WILSON HD ROTATING ELECT Wilson Starter NW DR OSGR 28MT 12v 2.5KW

This is a Wilson HD Rotating heavy-duty starter, part number NW DR OSGR 28MT, a 12-volt, 2.5 kW gear-reduction starter for trucks. It is a direct-fit replacement for the Delco 28MT family, the offset gear-reduction starter used on many medium-duty diesel engines. It measures about 15.1 in long, 7.6 in wide and 6.9 in tall and weighs 19 lb. No current price was supplied, so check the latest best price against its recent range before ordering.

Questions and answers

Is this a direct replacement for a Delco 28MT starter?
Yes. It is built as a 28MT-style offset gear-reduction starter with the same 12-volt, 2.5 kW rating, so it should bolt up where a 28MT came out. Match the part number and mounting pattern to your engine before ordering.
What engines does a 2.5 kW 28MT starter fit?
It suits medium-duty diesel trucks that used the Delco 28MT family, typically 6- to 8-liter class engines. Confirm fitment by engine model and year, not by truck brand alone.
Is a gear-reduction starter better than a direct-drive one?
Gear reduction lets a smaller motor crank a big diesel, which saves weight and current draw. The trade-off is more moving parts and a greater need for a healthy battery and clean grounds.
What is in the box?
Typically just the starter and mounting hardware; a solenoid is usually integrated on this design. Check the listing for included bolts or shims, since those are often sold separately.
When is the best time to buy?
Starter prices move little, but compare across stores and watch for core-charge differences. Buy before a failure if you can, since emergency purchases rarely land the lowest price.
