Thank you Jack! I have a 2018 with the auto shut off feature and my starter gave out at around 100k. I was dreading doing the work myself but thanks to your video I was able to get the starter out without any issues. Thanks again and God Bless!
Is there anyway to tell from VIN if you have 2 bolt or 3 bolt starter? I have 2018 with date of manufacture of 6/18. Never mind. 2 bolt after July 2017.
Lots of great tips there but the obvious question is why would the starter wear so quickly on a late model F150? Exposed wires on the underside - really, Ford?
According to the customer, several times a week the truck would make a “sluggish” start and sometimes wouldn’t start at all. He would then have to let it sit for a few minutes before it would start. We could never duplicate his concern but he wanted to replace the starter anyway. I actually did notice that it starts up quicker with the new starter. Hopefully that takes care of his issue.
These starters have known issues with heat causing them not to work. Drive 30+ minutes and your truck won't start afterwards. Happening to me now with 80K miles. Recommendation is to put on the Ford performance high torque starter for the mustang.
I just hit 100k on mine, and the starter went out the same damn day. Its odd to me that it went from working perfectly fine one day and completely dead the next day.

That’s awesome! I’m so glad to hear.
Mine just went out at 80k on my 2019 f150 with the 5.0
Thanks to your video I replaced the starter on my 2019 F150 today. Thank you for sharing some knowledge with us!
Thanks for the comment!

I was wondering the same thing cuz I have an 18, thanks for the info.
Replace the starter on my '19 5.0 with this video. Thank you, it was very clear and the exact process I needed to follow

Over 148K miles. Mostly short trips and it makes sense. Still, a 2019?

Thanks! Instructions were great for my 2018 F150. Swapped in the M-11000-C50A.
You have to love customers like that !!
Ok, with over 148K miles I'm slightly less disappointed with Ford having starter trouble on a 2019.
148k city miles is justified but not hwy miles
My 2020 needs a starter and it’s only got 66k on it
My 2019 with 32k just had the started go
Samee here 66k miles@@TadTrueman
67k and replacing mine today
Thank you! Doing this today!
These damn things are EXPENSIVE!!!!
Yeah. The ones on Google are one price, even for oem. But go to dealer now and they are $395 to $685
excellent - thanks for the instruction
