- Hello,
This video shows how to replace and upgrade the starter and starter cable on ford cars and trucks. The old style (single cable) starter has long been discontinued and only aftermarket and remanufactured units are available. I have had plenty of bad experiences with these starters so I finally decided to upgrade to the ford performance starter. This upgraded starter has two cables dedicated to the solenoid and starter motor giving it more power.

Another reason I love my bronco Is that we have people like you to thank in working on them. You doin the lord’s work man. I had my starter replaced already but I might make this upgrade anyway. I definitely didnt pay the high price for this starter…Anyways thanks man.
I definitely recommend this upgrade if/when your current starter goes out. For me mine always struggled during the winter time but would act right once temps warmed up. I’ve got some in depth videos coming up for this truck soon.
I realized my truck won't start and the battery won't get jumped. There's no sound when I turn the key NONE.. I'm suspecting the starter, it's always struggle a bit to start occasionally.
Think that's a fix is there a right way to diagnosis ?
@@LethalityKing do you have a second person? If so, have them turn the key while you bang on the starter. If the truck starts then it’s the starter. Keep hitting it with something hard like a flashlight. I havent watched this video in a while so you might already know this. Give it a shot.
@LordKenjii oh yea I forgot about that. Haha
I did by pass the solenoid with the screwdriver and it actually cranked but it didn't turn over.
I'll try that tomorrow
Love my bronco 1989 xlt 5.0
Can you tell me what the actual model number of the mini starter. Trying to change the starter on my ‘93 Bronco.
I have added a new link to the description for the starter, I believe it is part number:M-11000-B51 for automatic transmissions. Manuals will be different.
Hello guys! I finally installed this Ford Performance Starter and it was long due. My flexplate took a beating from all those other starters and I will be replacing it soon....
Yeah for sure that flex plate looked like it got chewed up. Look forward to that video!
I think the performance is driven by the “PMGR” or permanent magnet gear reduction technology - as compared to the older style drive style.. when you added the additional cable on the positive side of the solenoid it reminded me of the PMGR style which I believe is what you installed
Outstanding video! You make everything look so easy and simple. Thank you!
Thanks for the walk through thinking of doing this to my 90 bronco I think I might be having some heat soak issues
That's wild. I just did this in my 94 f150 last year. Starters normally go out every two years. Ive had the truck for almost 15 years and it was my dad's before that. I've replaced a ton of starters on it over the years. Reman, new, OEM. They all were about the same. I read a forum post of a guy saying use a Ford performance starter meant for the mustangs. It's cranks way faster and less. A year later and it's still going strong. Before I would notice a slow down or even stall outs that would have to be corrected with a hammer lol.
Great video spreading the info so more people learn there's better options out there.
You might try Tesa tape on the next wire loom. Great stuff.
Thanks for the tip!
Just what I needed. I really appreciate the no bs straight to the point instructions.
You do a great job recording the process and make it easy to follow along.
( I don't think you said " now go to town " is this video. That's the best part. Lol )
Thanks!
That is the cleanest 1990 Ford I've ever seen! Sheeesh ; P
Thank you.
Great upgrade.
And it Turned out my red head gear box was defective.
Thanks, Did you end up getting a good box from red head?
@@TheFixTechno. I had my old one rebuilt, which is how I was able to determine that the one red head sent was no good. They gave me a full refund.
That's a nice kit bringing the starter cable, I bought mine separate. Had some luck with a new Bosch starter being beefier than the replaced part, never thought the parts store ones were that bad but it makes sense. Super easy job
Where did u get ur starter cable kit from?
I can see everything you are doing in your videos. Great job with filming. It's nearly impossible to see what people are doing in videos on other channels
Thanks
Need more bronco how to vids 👍
More to come!
Hell yeah. Been watching all your videos. Keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do.
Heck yeah like watching your show I have a 84 XLS bronco. Great how to fix. Keep up the good work
Thank you.
Good job, i have the same on my 95 Flareside
Can’t believe it took me this long (and a few starters later) to finally do this.
great videos, and this one is quite instructive. My starter broke 3 weeks ago, second one in 3 years, on my F250 1987 7,5L 460. Same ACDELCO model as yours in the video. I was looking to replace it by a stronger one, but difficult to find one... Would love to find a performance one as the one you mention apparently is not compatible. Any clue how to find a compatible one strong enough? difficult to find...
This starter will work on the 460, the only difference is the top bolt threads into the starter which you can either use a heli coil or a nut and bolt setup. Also Powermaster has some good options in case you are interested.
@@TheFixTech Many thanks, i will surely switch to this one then in the coming weeks, tired of being stuck on the road because of starter issue (twice une the last two years). I was looking at the powermaster 9405 also, I guess going with ford is safe. Many thanks
Great job wish I could afford it.
Love your videos man!
Definitely having an issue with a starter I got at Advance for my 93. Clearly audibly spinning a few seconds after starting.
Probably have to do this but man… $300+. Nothing’s cheap anymore. May try to go to a local rebuilder and see if they can tweak the big box one first and make work. Original one lasted 30 years. Irked I sent the core in now.
Sadly nothing can help the big box ones, you may be able to find an original used one online or at a salvage yard and rebuild it. You can also find these on sale occasionally. It is pricey but I got tired of getting stuck.
Great stuff
Can you send me a link to that starter and wire kit? I have a lazy starter sometimes it turns slow. Replaced 2 batteries interstate and diehard still slow starts. Please help. Thanks.
I have added a link to the description, check your starter solenoid (on passenger side inner fender) and make sure connections are corrosion free.
Is there a fusible link inside that wiring harness?
No, my factory wiring also did not have a fusible link
Does this fit a 1995 351?
Yes it does.
Does this fit on the 5.0 as well?
Yes it does.
So my 5.0 had to get a new alternator. And It comes with a single wire that attaches to the positive relay. I attached the new starter cable to where you said (which has the alternator connection) and I'm getting a bad connection. Is there another place to place either of the wires (alternator or starter)
