Wanted to say thank you. I watched your video 4x and went and did my starter in a parking lot, in the dark, in a little over an hour in 30 degree weather on 1.5.21. epic video thank you for the simplicity of it.
I know this video is a bit old but it still worked for me. Mechanics really are expensive and liars. Since your helping others and not getting paid from me for this, your being honest that I appreciate. Thank you, I just pocketed $740 bucks.
Today, Sunday nov 27,2022, My son and I replaced the starter on his truck successfully. Many thanks to you and your video. We are not mechanics ! Thanks again.
This is really great. My starter is missing on my '06 350 pretty frequently now, so I think I need to change mine. You did a fantastic job explaining and showing. Thank you so much. Fantastic.
Many thanks for putting this on. It sure saved me a lot of messing around figuring out bolt sizes. My replacement had a 16mm nut on the power lug. BTW for anyone who needs to know, the torque spec on the mounting bolts is 18 ft lbs. I owe you a beer.
nice video, thanks. Some notes on mine - I too had different size bolts: 2 upper hold down bolts (13mm) and small wire (10mm) were the same, but the bottom hold down was a 15mm and the large wire bolt was 17mm. Maybe it's a thing on early 04/2003 trucks - lots of changes from early 04 to your 2006. Otherwise exactly the same. I found the previous owner had removed the plastic from the wheelwell so I went in that way for everything except the bottom bolt. Top bolt was easy that way too. Thanks for the great video.
Brother thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I was scared to mess up my truck since I'm a novice but you just helped me pocket $600 bucks.
Damn, I haven't had a starter that easy to take out since I was a teenager! Sooo much room. I did a starter rebuild on my sons car a while back. New brushes, bushings, etc. Cost about $25 or so. It was kinda fun and saved a few bucks too. Thanks!
+Baxrok2 I've never tried a rebuild before I thought about trying to rebuild an alternator , just to say I'd done it . That's definitely cool and the price of some of these alt and starters it could really save alot . Thanks again for watching
I go in through the wheelwell. I remove the plastic shroud,use several long extensions( like 18 inches total), and a swivel then come in from the front just under the exhaust manifold and while I'm in the wheelwell i can see that I'm on the bolt and BOOM! Much easier then just feeling for it and fighting a ratchet up in there
Excellent video, man. Thank you for sharing. Got it out, new one in...truck fired up and still getting white smoke (after siphoning a 1/4 tank of water contaminated diesel). Not looking good. 6.0 Powerstroke, still sounds like a champ - and fired up NO PROBLEM - but white smoke. Thank you so much for the starter help. Much appreciated. How do you help me resolve the rest of my problems??! :) Cheers!!
Removing the power wires first is paramount. The rest then falls into place. Also the socket sizes on mine were different no biggie but I find it funny on what appears to be factory parts, that there are occasional discrepancies.
@@s33therfan yes sir! She starts so much quicker now. 6" extension and a deepwell socket was the magic length for the tricky top bolt. Tightened up some transmission pan bolts while under there and stopped my fluid leak. Just got the SCT tuner working today with it to, mainly to monitor but I did have to try the performance tune 😁. It works! Just gotta find the right place to bulletproof at, thanks again. 👍

I greatly appreciate the feedback. Thank you very much for watching.
Im doing one now it's a whopping 8° in a Lowes parking lot 😐
Hearing you did it in a parking lot in the dark, I went outside and did mine myself too 💪🏼😎
One of the most helpful videos on 6.0 starter.
Very detailed to the size of the sockets, tools and how to reach them. Excellent!
Thank you for the great feedback and thanks for watching.

Best how to remove starter on a 6.0 I have seen! The others don’t show the detail that you do! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for the kind words sir and thank you for watching

Thank you for the excellent feedback. It is greatly appreciated.
What exactly did it do? Disengage randomly while cranking?
I've looked at some videos about the 6.0 starter. Your is the best. 💯
Thank you for the kind feedback sir , I'm glad the video could help out and thank you for watching .
Thanks man it helps to know what tools you need before you start so you can eliminate all that up and down crap. Thank you this was a big help for me.
Thank you very much for the great feedback and thanks for watching
Thank you so much. My truck decided to eat the starter this morning before work. Your video helped me immensely.
I appreciate the great feedback and thank you for watching.
@@s33therfan thank you for teaching! This is really the best instructional video I could find for doing this! You're the man!

Outstanding. About the easiest starter install I've done in a while. I think a little over an hour to R&R it and hook up the batteries. Thanks!
Thank you very much for the great feedback and thanks for watching .

Great job tackling this yourself. I appreciate the great feedback.
You explained it very well enough to help me out.
Great job and instruction steps with no unnecessary instructions.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for the kind words , much appreciated.
Great video, even the socket sizes were right, although the replacement upgraded starter had different size nuts for power and switched wire.
Thanks for sharing , and thank you for the great feedback.

Very helpful. Very difficult for the one bolt especially being like -22
Great job on getting it replaced , and thank you for the feedback and for watching .

That is strange you would think they would keep them all the same . Thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Awesome video, super helpful and well done. Thanks alot.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching
Did you take the tire off? Would you recommend it?
I do not believe I did but it would make things easier . Thanks for watching.
@@s33therfan Haha, no worries. I changed my starter out tonight and couldn't of done it without this video. Thank you.
mines a 16mm
A new starter comes with 16mm nuts for the wires.. if you have 16mm it means yours has been replaced before
I Hate Ford So Much
