DB Electrical 410-14043 Starter Compatible with/Replacement for Ford Excursion 2000-2005, Expedition 1999-2013, F-150 1999-2013, F-250 Super-Duty 1999-2013, Mustang 2005-2010 4L34-11000-AA, 6646N

This replaced a locked up starter. It went in like a starter should and starts the truck like it should. So it's got one over on the old starter by quite a shot there.Unfortunately, the starter did not come with power windows, locks or a remote starting system, so the truck still does not have these things.Also as I discovered, it neither whistles nor rings a bell when operating. As I did not detect these items on or in it when I was installing it, I can only say that it does not come with bells or whistles. Or a kazoo. There was no kazoo in the box.The old starter also did not come with these things, but it also did not make a sound when I really needed it to, and this one does, so it's got another one over on the old starter.Most disappointingly, it did not come with a chauffeur; so I cannot recommend it to those who expect a chauffeur to be packaged in their starter box with the starter.It did allow the engine to rotate when I tried turning it over by hand so it's got one over on the old starter there too.It also did not come pre-installed, so I had to do that myself. I would have had the mechanic install it, but the mechanic I took the truck to told me the engine was seized and we would need a new engine. It turned out that the starter was locked up and locked out, so the new starter has another one over on the old starter there too. Also I have one over on the mechanic, so throw another star on there for that.Overall this is a good, solid starter, which is more than I can say about the old starter.That is not entirely fair, the old starter wasn't so much good, but it was very solid and made a lovely new dent in the dumpster when I chucked it in.This new starter does have one fabulous feature that is just incomparable to any other. It allowed me to start the truck up a mere two Amazon prime days after the mechanic told me I needed a new engine so I could drive around the parking lot of the mechanic whilst staring at him, which was lovely as he seemed astonished and irritated.Also, this starter does follow the law of gravity. It resisted quite a bit my attempt to hold it off the ground when I was installing it, but I persevered. The old starter also followed the ladle of gravity, which is what you get when you mistype "law of gravity". Unfortunately, the only function the old starter performed well was as a demonstration of the law of gravity.

First I'd like to state that this starter also fits 2001 Ford F250/350 4X4 V10, 6.8L engine. This is what I have and it was a direct bolt in. Amazon states it doesn't fit but it does and is identical to the factory unit in size.Starter appears to be well made and has silicone sealing the case, end cap and solenoid to help prevent water entry.Regarding the power output it is the same as the factory unit not higher as advertised in Amazon. It cranks the motor just fine as did the factory unit when it was working correctly. Longevity, well, I will remember to post if it fails prematurely.

I installed this on my F150 FX4 5.4l truck. The removal of the old one was brutal and included breaking the 9 oclock bolt. The installation was straight forward. The hardest part was getting the top bolt into the hole. Once I accomplished that I used a 90 degree adapter made by Dewalt along with an extension or two and ran the bolt down and tightened it. All the hardware was there. After it was installed and the battery hooked up I put my key in and it turned over great, better than new and started the truck. Since it had taken me several days to replace the starter I left it run for maybe 30 minutes. I then shut it down and tried to restart it. The gear failed to engaged the flywheel. I tried it again and it started. I will update this review if it continues to give me trouble. There are other things that could be the problem such as the cable going to the solenoid or the flywheel itself.

Truck occasionally would not start (would just get clicking). I could tell my battery cable assembly was badly corroded so I decided to replace it with the Motorcraft WC95931 Junction to Starter Cable from Amazon. It was at that time I discovered the starter was badly corroded too. It actually fell apart when disconnecting the battery cable. So that's why I ended up buying this starter (fortunately it's very reasonably priced).Both parts were a perfect fit and my truck now starts beautifully every time. Money well spent!

Direct replacement for ‘02 F250 5.4L. Fired right up, but will update if it fails prematurely. All you need is a 10mm socket, and a medium length extension with a knuckle to access all three bolts. I use a 3/8” driver for bottom two, 1/4” for the top bolt. Yes, the top one is a little harder to reach, and some folks don’t even re-install it, but it’s really not all that hard to do if you just look at the bolt pattern on the new starter, you’ll know exactly where to position the socket. Then it’s just a matter of persistence to crank it down with micro-turns, due to the lack of space. Easy to install if you’re patient. Easier to install if you wipe everything down before trying to start the bolts with your fingertips. It’s twice as hard if your hands and/or mounting bolts are greasy.***UPDATE***Been installed roughly a week, no issues. Quick, solid starts every time.

Works great for the money

The media could not be loaded.  It fit without problems. I looks great quality but only time will tellI drive ford150 2005, V8, 4.6cc 4x2I paid somebody to do the work because I don't have any tools as I recently moved to Houston area.I am glad started with no problems. So far so good

Amazon said the part would not fit on my Ford F-150 2010 XLT 5.4L. Started was well packaged and was well made. It fits and works like a charm. Sometimes reading reviews is worth it.

Easy install on my Ford truck. Good value. I bought a starter for one of my motorcycles in this brand. They work.

LordCo wanted 307 dollars for the cheapest new one the had. Amazon here has this one for a third of the price and gets it delivered to my house SAME day where as with lordco I'd have to get off the couch and walk my butt in the freezing cold.As for the functionality this thing starts my truck in less than half a second. Works better than my old one but sounds a little more high pitched when cranking compared to the previous one which I dont particularly mind but this is just personal preference. All in all just buy this one a save yourself 200 bucks. Well done DB Electrical.

It fits like a glove. Now only time will tell if it will continue performing like the Manufacturer part . The build quality looks sturdy
