difference in starters?
Was going to order a starter/solenoid combo for my 2005 Corvette Z51 base 6.0 Went to order it and the parts house is telling me that the 2005 starter/solenoid is different than on same engine on the 2006-2007-2008 6.0 and up. Is this true? The price is a lot different too (way higher on the 2005). Any of you guru's know for sure before I order it?
Thanks in advance.

As for the starter, most of the time the starter motor is fine, and you only need to replace is starter solenoid on the starter isntead.

Thanks again Dano. Yes, I'm going to replace the solenoid because it did the "no start" once again. But I figured while I was there I'd just replace the starter too since I' really like the car and plan on keeping it for a long time and it's paid for. I was just curious as to what the actual difference was in the starter was itself? Thanks for all the help you have given me up to this point.

And it's pretty simple to do. It could be different for other years and models, but on a '06 Base Z51, I can get the starter out without having to unbolt the midpipe from the exhaust manifolds. It takes a little pushing, pulling, twisting... but I can usually get it in or out in less than 60 seconds after I unbolt it.
