This is a great video. I watched a couple others and they don’t go in depth on how they get that top bolt out. Appreciate you. I spent about four hours trying to get it out and I gave up. I’ll give another shot tomorrow morning. I just didn’t have like a six or 7 inch extension. I had a 10 and that’s it and that’s too long.
Glad the video gave you some Ideas on how to get it out. If you have a 1/2 to 3/8" adapter you can use different size driver extensions to adapt them to get the length you need. Hope you get it figured out. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
I would like to say I looked at a few videos how to get that starter out. Yours was the best took me two days but I have the right tools now put the new one in took like 10 minutes. I appreciate all your help on yours I need to get like a 8 inch extension.

@@keithnoneya i..bought a used 7.3 350, 2001 with 1 month old at the date of purchase (09/21..) Duralast Gold Premium batts and they may already need replacement, that is if my problem isn't the factory starter. It may be really tired. The dash battery needle is always in the good zone..i need to put my volt meter on them under load.
@@jefflancaster6587 Those batteries are usually pretty good and shouldn't be needing to be replaced in 6 months unless someone severely abused them. Check to make sure the Battery Symbol light is out on the dash. If it's out then at least it's not your alternator. Then it's either the starter, Batter Terminals, Battery Wires or abused Batteries. It the next video I mention two starters. I found out that both most likely will fit. The original slower cranking one is the big one the little one is a high speed one. Read the comments before you go buy one. The one I put in it is just fine still, as a matter of fact I just replaced the Bosch and the alternator and the starter worked fine.

@@keithnoneya I watched it about 10 more times.....it sure looks like a spark to me. It even sounds electrical. It starts right where your finger is touching the starter and then moves towards the oil pan, all the while radiating out, diffusing, and then gone. There is also another one just before this a few seconds, but I think that one is a very brief flash of light reflecting off the data plate on the starter.
I am getting ready to replace mine. I have already disconnected all the cables. I am curious, why would you leave the positive connected? It make me nervous. Couldn't you arc something when trying to remove the wires from the starter?
Hi Kevin It's actually best to disconnect both Negatives and both Positives on both sides, and by convention it's best to disconnect both Positives. However I usually disconnect whichever is easiest, as long as you disconnect both Negatives or both Positives you should be fine, as electricity can't flow without a feed or return. So there is no risk of shock or damaging the vehicle as long as you do both batteries. Good question though. Always feel free to ask as many as you like. Thanks for watching, Best Wishes n Blessings.

There were two difference starters for this engine. As long as the parts store or on line seller says it will fit your 7.3L it should . Take a look on eBay you'll see the different styles. In my starter change video I show both. At the time I did the video I didn't know there were two different styles. I mention that in the description and in the comments. Hope that points you in the right direction. Best Wishes and Blessings. Keith Noneya
How did you know you needed a new starter? My '95 7.3 has charged batteries but is near impossible to start. It barely turns over. Just cleaned my battery terminals and no difference. Runs great if I can actually get it to fire up. Sound like a bad starter to you?
Hi Matt, Yep that sounds like a bad starter. Reason is it runs great when started but turns over slowly. So something in the starter has most likely shorted. Starting systems usually have a few things in them, they are: - The battery, - The Solenoid, this part connects the Positive battery cable to the starter motor itself, which then turns over. - the Cables (Positive & Negative). - Brake interlock to ensure you have your foot on the brake before you start. - Safety Neutral Switch or Transmission Interlock to ensure the vehicle is in Park or Neutral, - Ignition Switch and - Starting relay. Primarily if all the systems are working, the starter will turn over. In order for the starter to turn over it needs LOTS of Current (Juice) at usually 12VDC. Some older vehicles used 6VDC, VW's etc. If a starter is turning over slowly you can pretty much rule out all the safety interlocks which only leaves voltage and current. Voltage and current are delivered by the Battery, the Cables and the Solenoid. If one of them is corroded, weak, loose the starter will turn over slowly. So here are some common problems that can mimic a low battery or bad starter, they are: 1. Corroded battery cable clamps. Sometimes they look nice and shinny on the outside but when you take them off you'll have a dark grey or black coating on the area that contacts the battery posts. Recently had this problem on a friends truck. He said the starter was bad and had it checked twice, it was good. After I changed it I looked at his battery cable clamps that he said he had checked and were good. I rechecked them and they were heavily corroded on the inside of the clamps. After cleaning them up it turned over like a new truck. 2. Internally damaged or corroded battery cables. Over time the copper inside the cables corrode, if they get flexed enough they can even internally break and act like a huge resistor. You can't always spot this on the battery cable clamp area, so you'll have to measure the volts at the battery when you crank the vehicle, then measure the voltage at the starter batter cable where it connects to the solenoid when turning over the vehicle. There should be no more than a volt difference and normally no more that .5vdc difference between the battery voltage and the starter solenoid. If so take the batteries and the starter in and have them checked, if good change the cables. Ran into this problem on my Dodge Grand Caravan, drove me and a friend nuts for a few weeks. 3. Bad ground or loose starter. Starters over time can become loose and basically don't get a good connection to the block or transmission case. This forces all the electricity "juice" to go through a small area and sometimes it can't pass enough current to properly power the starter, so it turns slow. This is an easy fix, just disconnect both battery neg cable clamps from the battery, remove the starter and clean up the starter face and the area that it mounts to the engine or transmission. The same applies to the negative battery cable that goes to both the frame of the truck and the block of the truck. Make sure those areas where the negative cables connects it clean and tight. If you've already ensured your batteries are fully charged and have had them checked, and the starter does turn over, then it's most likely the starter or one of the tree items listed above. Hope this helps. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith
Eh, it was nothing. I was just starting my day and saw your comment. So it was fun. Besides I hate it when I ask for information I really need on a YT page and never get an answer.

Oh I've seen some lady's at church that have great charm, especially when they make some really nice cake's or pies, LOL. I dressed up in a nice suit one Sunday, normally I don't, and one of the ladies told my wife I should keep an eye on me because she said I was handsome. When my wife told me that I just started cracking up , she's a sweet old lady. Back to the truck, Well when they get tough I clean all the dirt and oil away from the bolts with a small wire brush, Then I spay some penetrating oil like, PB Blaster or WD-40 on them. I let it sit for about 15 minutes then use a 1/2" breaker bar to loosen them. Then I use the ratchet to finish removing them. If you use the 1/2" half inch breaker bar you might have to use a 1/2" to 3/8" drive adapter if you're using 3/8" sockets. $50.00 bucks to lift and point to a starter! Gurrrr, mechanics like that make me mad. My wife and I both agree that is one sorry of an excuse for a man. My dad was a professional mechanic and I've seen him change belts for folks and tell them no charge because he knew they couldn't afford it. I wish you lived near by I could use a pizza and a 2 liter of coked about now. Dinner time! LOL. I live in Slidell, La. You might have to just get some kid to break the bolts free for you or someone you trust to help you. Had a 70 year old lady change a starter on a Dodge Caravan using one of my videos once. Shocked but I've learned not to underestimate the ingenuity or power of older folks. My dad can not turn wrenches easily now, so he advises or instructs folks on how to fix their cars and gets paid to do it. Keep me informed on your truck . Oh and those starters are not light, so be careful when that last bolt come out, and when you put it back in, put the bottom bolts in first to help hold it up so you can get the top bolt in. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Viola on a side note, I got to thinking about your possible knowledge/skill level in mechanic work, based on our conversations. Make sure your battery connections are clean and not corroded between the clamps and the battery posts. If they are it will appear that the starter is bad.

If you do pull it, take it to an auto-parts store and have them test it on their starter machine. Auto-Zone, PepBoys are likely to have one. You can also call ahead to make sure before you leave.
