Starter motor Denso or OEM FORD

Go with a Denso starter if you really want quality

I used a denso starter.

I would guess starter if there’s no sound when turning the key. Just replaced one on a Ford Focus and it sprang to life.

It needed a battery and alternator and starter. Starter was the most difficult to do, but I didn\u2019t feel like it was horrible.

When I had to put a starter in my 3rd gen, I went with a Denso reman. You can usually find them on Amazon. Denso is the company who originally made the starter (and many other electrical parts) for Toyota, and their reman parts are usually of good quality, in my experience.

I installed an OE Denso starter made in Japan. There the best for the 7.3

The denso on my 02 4Runner started having issues at 255k. Replaced the brushes with new oem and it was good to go afterwards!

Ford had to upgrade their starters shortly after the rule started because they kept blowing out real quick.

My moms f150 just lost its starter at 40k miles because of auto stop/start...

About 2 weeks ago my bike started to struggle starting when the bike was hot. It acted like the battery was dead - which was a fairly new (3months) old) Lithium Ion Shorai Battery. I replaced the LiOn with the OEM battery (that's $500 in battery's and a LiOn charger). After much research online it seems this is a known issue with the Denso factory starter motor. The brushes wear unevenly, and quickly.
