Questions
Which starter is right for my unit?
Extended Life OE is the genuine OEM starter that comes from the factory with a new unit, engineered specifically for the Thermo King engine. Standard Life Plus is engineered by Thermo King specifically for heavy-duty off-road application. A remanufactured starter goes beyond the typical rebuild: high-wear items such as bearings, brush holder screws and clutch spring clips are replaced, and the other components are inspected and repaired.
How long is the warranty?
OEM starters are backed by a two-year warranty. Ask the counter for the terms on Standard Life Plus and remanufactured starters.
Do I need the part number?
No. Send the unit model and serial number, and the counter will match the starter. Have the part number? You can order it on Thermo King's parts store.
