Starter heat shield

Is the part number the same for all vehicles with 6.5 starter?

Does the starter heat shield work with the Powermaster starter?

This picture doesn't look like what I remember.

I think I have at least one new GM starter heat shield around here someplace.

In a search I saw some aftermarket starter heat shields for this application. But I don't know if they'll work with the Powermaster starter.

I ended up using one of those heat wraps for my powermaster. it has Velcro strips on it to stick once in place. although I had to insulate the battery lug on the starter due to the foil layer on the wrap was arching out on the lug.
 
the biggest fear I had when going the wrap direction as I didn't have a heat shield was the thought of the wrap holding the heat in. I had to convince myself the ends were open so air would flow.
