my mom's good friend, who really doesn't have any money, needs a starter for her 06 with a 5.4. Im gonna buy her one and swap it out - I dont wanna buy her a POS starter but trying to be budget conscious about it. That being said - any starter you all particularly recommend? I know to stay away for Duralast type stuff.

 

Id say either NAPA or Motorcraft

 

go to rock auto if you have a couple days. (shipping)

 

Don't forget to use one of the discount codes for RockAuto in the following thread.

You might consider a U-Pull auto yard. $26 + $5 core near me. You have to pull it yourself and its hit and miss, no good, bring it back for another.

 

shes not in a hurry so I used a rockauto code and got a motorcraft reman, must be in the FL warehouse bc says it'll be here Friday. Would be nice to get her up and going this weekend, Im busy after that.

gonna go by tonight and tomorrow night on my way home and spray it down with some PB blaster

 

top bolt is a PITA to get to... need a swivel and different lengths of extensions.

 

ya just like all the mod motors, the good old bitch bolt. At least on my lightning we just put like 2-3' of extensions on there and did it from in front of the truck

 

You can make it easier on yourself by getting a 5.0L Coyote engine starter which is smaller and easier to deal with.
