    Another reason I love my bronco Is that we have people like you to thank in working on them. You doin the lord’s work man. I had my starter replaced already but I might make this upgrade anyway. I definitely didnt pay the high price for this starter…Anyways thanks man.

      I definitely recommend this upgrade if/when your current starter goes out. For me mine always struggled during the winter time but would act right once temps warmed up. I’ve got some in depth videos coming up for this truck soon.

      I realized my truck won't start and the battery won't get jumped. There's no sound when I turn the key NONE.. I'm suspecting the starter, it's always struggle a bit to start occasionally.
      Think that's a fix is there a right way to diagnosis ?

      @@LethalityKing do you have a second person? If so, have them turn the key while you bang on the starter. If the truck starts then it’s the starter. Keep hitting it with something hard like a flashlight. I havent watched this video in a while so you might already know this. Give it a shot.

      I did by pass the solenoid with the screwdriver and it actually cranked but it didn't turn over.
      I'll try that tomorrow

    That's wild. I just did this in my 94 f150 last year. Starters normally go out every two years. Ive had the truck for almost 15 years and it was my dad's before that. I've replaced a ton of starters on it over the years. Reman, new, OEM. They all were about the same. I read a forum post of a guy saying use a Ford performance starter meant for the mustangs. It's cranks way faster and less. A year later and it's still going strong. Before I would notice a slow down or even stall outs that would have to be corrected with a hammer lol.
    Great video spreading the info so more people learn there's better options out there.

    • @TheFixTech
      @TheFixTech  10 місяців тому +2

      I have added a new link to the description for the starter, I believe it is part number:M-11000-B51 for automatic transmissions. Manuals will be different.

  • @nhamontree
    @nhamontree 5 місяців тому

    I think the performance is driven by the “PMGR” or permanent magnet gear reduction technology - as compared to the older style drive style.. when you added the additional cable on the positive side of the solenoid it reminded me of the PMGR style which I believe is what you installed

    great videos, and this one is quite instructive. My starter broke 3 weeks ago, second one in 3 years, on my F250 1987 7,5L 460. Same ACDELCO model as yours in the video. I was looking to replace it by a stronger one, but difficult to find one... Would love to find a performance one as the one you mention apparently is not compatible. Any clue how to find a compatible one strong enough? difficult to find...

    • @TheFixTech
      @TheFixTech  8 місяців тому +2

      This starter will work on the 460, the only difference is the top bolt threads into the starter which you can either use a heli coil or a nut and bolt setup. Also Powermaster has some good options in case you are interested.

I attached the new starter cable to where you said (which has the alternator connection) and I'm getting a bad connection. Is there another place to place either of the wires (alternator or starter)

    Definitely having an issue with a starter I got at Advance for my 93. Clearly audibly spinning a few seconds after starting.
    Probably have to do this but man… $300+. Nothing’s cheap anymore. May try to go to a local rebuilder and see if they can tweak the big box one first and make work. Original one lasted 30 years. Irked I sent the core in now.

    • @TheFixTech
      @TheFixTech  Рік тому +1

      Sadly nothing can help the big box ones, you may be able to find an original used one online or at a salvage yard and rebuild it. You can also find these on sale occasionally. It is pricey but I got tired of getting stuck.
