2000 Durango 4.7 starter

All I know is, you cannot go by photos posted on internet "parts" sources. They are often a "generic", a "representative" photo.

Here's a used one I found on Egag. It clearly claims to fit a 4.7 and is clearly different from the "nose cone" style you need for a 5.2/ 5.9

I'm guessing there might be an "early" and a "late"

I just went out and looked at 3 of the 5.2/5.9 starters I have in the shop and all 3 have the gear proud of the mounting face, whereas the pic you found and the one I posted show the gear recessed behind the face.
