My starter on my 96 1500 5.7 is on its way out so I figured I'd order a new one from an online vendor that I happen to have a discount coupon for. Two versions are available though, a direct drive and a reduction gear model. I see that they also have different tooth counts on the output. Any way to tell which is appropriate for my truck without pulling the old one? Do they interchange? Local parts house shows the same offerings without any clarification.
