It's a Ford, haters gonna hate, but we know what to buy.

Insurance for a tow truck..lol

Got one ordered off amazon for $72 and will be here Saturday, a few beers and curse words and hopefully that'll get it done

Just remember to unhook the battery before you work on the starter

Yup, whenever it gets here today I'll be putting it on. It'll be so much easier working on my truck once i move and have a garage

Really helps when you have all the right tools . Got the hardest bolt out and the easy one I can't get, don't have a long enough extension, tried all sorts of ways until I sneezed and banged my head under the truck and gave up, now I have to find a ride to Walmart to get a extension

I can't get it, idk what the hell is holding this thing in but I've taken all three blots unless I didn't take out the right one

Look at the bolt pattern on the new starter

There may be a support bracket up to the block...it's always hard to see and impossible to get to. GLWStarter

Sometimes it takes a light tap with a hammer to free them up.

Guess I freed the wrong bolt up. Can't see this one and so far I ain't got it off, lost my quarter inch socket when it broke off trying to loosen it. Guess I'll try tomorrow. Only problem i see is if I get it off then how the heck am I gonna get it back on
