Automatic Transmission Mean Green Starter. The Mean Green gear reduction starter provides 100% more torque, it's 5 lbs lighter and allows for 200% more cranking power than stock starters. We have used these for years in WH rigs and have been very impressed. Being able to start your rig in gear on the trail has some serious advantages, like you don't have to burn up the clutch if you have to stop in the middle of a difficult spot. The Mean Green has a life expectancy of 300,000 miles and comes with a 2 year unconditional warranty.
