If you want to test your starter to see if its good, watch this video and I'll show you how! • How to Test a Car Star...
I just replaced my starter in a 2007 F350 recently. Thanks for posting this video for a little guidance. It was much appreciated. I will add, the very frustrating top bolt is much easier to access if you remove the starter wiring first. Then I sequenced bolt removal as follows: 13mm with 6" extension behind the solenoid, then bottom bolt, then middle bolt. This way, the starter will stay aligned against the mounting faces and not have a tendency to rack forward since it's a pretty heavy part. Leaving the middle bolt last allows you to get a hand on the starter while removing the bolt. Then, rotate the top towards you to get past the clearances in your way and she comes right out. Before you put the new on in, obviously clean the mounting surfaces, but I also noticed some small metal chunks from the old part inside the cavity where the gear engages which I fished out with an appropriately scaled magnet. Then I installed in the exact order as removed. Now that I have done it once, I could probably do this again in a half hour. Thanks again for the post. Your rig is damn nice looking.
Good job !
Best video on here for this hands down! Very well shot for a hard to see task too! Appreciate thr help 😎
You should remind everyone to disconnect the positive cable from the battery first.
Mike Wrenn thank you
Always remove ground cable first. This minimizes any chance to strike an arc from positive to ground while removing.
Yes. Very important. Good video though. 👍🏼
You done a great job on this video kid. Just have to remind us old idiots to disconnect the battery beforehand. 😜
Negative cable(s).
5:25 5:30 Alot easier if you dont have a block heater...but if you do....youre in for a treat lmaoooooo That made me chuckle. Thanks for the vid bro
I love the way you people make it sound so easy to change a starter on a Ford, small truck! I could not find one video on how to replace the starter on a 1991 F Super Duty truck, with a V/8 gasoline engine, after dropping the exaust header pipe down i still could not reach the top bolt on the starter! I would like for someone to demonstrate just how easy it is to r-r that starter, and get back to me!
It might be over kill but I removed the inner fender liner which allowed easy access to the third hidden bolt.
Thanks for doing your video. It was very helpful. I struggled a couple of hours trying to remove my starter while lying with the top of my head oriented towards the back of the truck. When I reversed my position and had the top of my head against the front tire as you suggested, removal became a whole lot easier. It is amazing what a difference my body position had in this little chore. Visibility is much better from that viewpoint.
So much easier if you get the hidden bolt out first after you take the cables and batteries disconnected. Good video though buddy!!
Nice video, just one thing to add. Always remove the positive battery cable first when changing a starter.
Good video.... I watched because I was looking for a trick for that top bolt but evidently it's just a drag! Thanks
Yeah unfortunately that top bolt is a real pain to get.
The guy helping me couldn’t get the top bolt out, eventually resorted to taking the fender well out to get a little more access. Eventually we got it out. The three starter bolts had 10mm heads but regular shanks. I think the 10 mm made it easier to get the socket and extension in. We didn’t need the swivel drive.
Thanks for your help with the top bolt
thank you for all the explanation and for to show how to do it then what size of sockets and key to use in order to take off then to install
was perfect thank s again
joseph.
thanks for the info... it was very helpful just 2 know what I was getting my self into lollolthank you again you save me money in not taking my truck to the mech...
Glad I could help!
thanks for this... just installed a starter on my '08 F-250. video helped a bunch.
This video helped me get the job done! Thanks!
use an 8” extension with a short socket on a swivel. Come in on the inside of solenoid across the top..!
thanks, I need to replace mine. This make it much easier
Just changed one on my 2005 6.0 dually...took about 1hr 15min...the cummins is much easier to work on
Ya, dodge knows you will need to work on it. A lot LOL
Awesome job! Great descriptions and video. Now, can you come down to Washington State and replace mine please? 😉
I like the video,thank you for sharing. Like the truck,just put a,starter on my Superduty Van ~ Electrician Here 🔌
Thanks for the help i have a gas f350 , very helpful, in and out slick.
I was wondering if it was the same thing for a 2009 gas 5.4L
This really helped a lot thank you
God job thanks.
Curious? Why did you switch to a 6.4 starter?
Replaced the one on our 7.3 just yesterday. I wouldn't say it's easy(laying under the truck) but it wasn't crazy difficult. Why those electrical connections are on top in the 3-bolt starter is a head scratcher though. Totally dumb.
Anyway, this thing turns over faster than I ever ever remember it doing. Wish I changed it 10 years ago. Went thru all the 'starting problems' of the 7.3 when it was the starter all this time! 🤦🤦
Nice job. One note, the audio was a little low at first, so you might want to check that next time to level it out a bit?
Great video. Thanks
This shows up in my feed on June 2020?
Also, use a 6.7 starter. Get a 5/16 I.d 1" metal sleeve for the the lower bolt hole and it will be the best low buck upgrade for ur 6.0
Nice video!!
My starter makes a clicking sounds but will not turn the motor. Was that one of the symptoms you experienced?
great video super helpful ty
Nice job!
Great work!!
Nice job . Thank you.
good job.
The engine in this 1991 F SuperDuty, one ton flat bed truck, appears to have the 460 cubic inch gasoline engine in it, the starter is a night mare reach, i worked on this mess for a while, but it is not easy! I would like to see if someone has done a starter R-R concept of truck to see if its me or just a difficult job to change the starter? information is always helpful! Thanks.
Virian Bouze - surprisingly enough it turns out to be very easy to remove that Bolt. That is if you know the trick.:-) all it actually takes is a swivel and 22 Plus inches of extension. That has worked for me on at least 15 different F250s with the 460 engine. Starter out and in 20 to 40 minutes. By the way make sure you do disconnect the battery always starting with the negative post. Reverse that for connecting. Good luck
Got a 2000 Econo Van,working on now. Trying yo to the same thing...not as easy as I thought.... 😐
I just did my van tonight, not too bad, use an extension to get to the hidden bolt plus us van guys can cheat a little, pull the dog house you can see the bolt 😜
i just replaced the alternator and 2 new batteries.. they were all good at auto zone. but now the voltage is around 11 and after a few days it drops till its dead. and when i try to turn it on sometimes it "click click click" or sometimes it doesnt do anything ... im thinking its the starter
+Abel G It could be the starting but more likely is something thats draining the batteries.
thanks...yeah my starter is good. so it has to be a connection
I have the same problem with my 350 v10 2008. Something is randomly draining my battery after about 20 hours after driving it. But it happens randomly. Have you ever found the cause to this. Please let me know.
cant find the problem yet. i started off cleaning the posts the grounds. it starts low and increases within a few minutes to 13.8 range. Ive had a mechanic saying thats normal. But then i had to leave the truck parked for 3 days and forgot to unplug the batteries so it would start when i came back. i came back, the truck started but then again i purchased the batteries in may last year and they held up for 6 months then one gave up.got new ones days before i left for 3 days. so the problems could still remain. it could be a short somewhere. Havent taken it to get checked since it hasnt left me stranded...yet
Good video but the first bolt is a 15 not 13
Awesome video. thanks for the info
I need to do this to my truck
+Cal McWeeney Pretty easy to do just takes a bit of time and patience!
you yadda yaddad over the part I need to know: how to get the fucking thing out
