Starter motor Bosch or OEM FORD
I am now getting a Bosch from Rockauto for 25% less than the AC Delco starter from Amazon. Bosch sold me with 24 month roadside towing if the starter leaves me stranded during that time.
I actually replaced the starter less than a year ago with a brand new (not a remanufactured) Bosch; hopefully its not the starter.
Bosch is also not a bad name starter to buy from something like rockauto.
Bosch is just fine. I replaced my starter with a Bosch reman a few years ago, still working flawlessly.
This is 100% your starter motor. The solenoid isn't pulling the starter motor gear off the flywheel fast enough so it grinds. Gets worse in colder weather. The fix is a new starter motor
Bro I had to pull a starter off an old F-250 for a friend. Only way to get anything on the top bolt was with 3 and a half feet of extensions from behind the cab.
Definitely get that starter -- even the OEM new Bosch ones suck
Replaced starter motor and battery within 30,000 miles in my 2015 F150
I think the napa one is most likely to last more than 10 minutes. But my car is on its 5th starter with barely over 100k miles because the previous owners mechanic kept using anything but Bosch.
Ford had to upgrade their starters shortly after the rule started because they kept blowing out real quick.
