Starter motor Denso or OEM FORD
Go with a Denso starter if you really want quality
Pros: quality starter
I used a denso starter.
I would guess starter if there’s no sound when turning the key. Just replaced one on a Ford Focus and it sprang to life.
Pros: sprang to life
Cons: no sound
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
It needed a battery and alternator and starter. Starter was the most difficult to do, but I didn\u2019t feel like it was horrible.
Cons: upper bolt was a pain
Vehicle:
Honda Element
When I had to put a starter in my 3rd gen, I went with a Denso reman. You can usually find them on Amazon. Denso is the company who originally made the starter (and many other electrical parts) for Toyota, and their reman parts are usually of good quality, in my experience.
Pros: good quality, reliable parts
Vehicle:
Toyota
I installed an OE Denso starter made in Japan. There the best for the 7.3
Pros: best for the 7.3
The denso on my 02 4Runner started having issues at 255k. Replaced the brushes with new oem and it was good to go afterwards!
Pros: repairable, long lasting
Cons: issues at high mileage
Mileage: 255000 km
Ford had to upgrade their starters shortly after the rule started because they kept blowing out real quick.
Cons: starters blowing out quick
Vehicle:

My moms f150 just lost its starter at 40k miles because of auto stop/start...
Cons: lost starter at 40k miles
Vehicle:

Mileage: 40000 km
About 2 weeks ago my bike started to struggle starting when the bike was hot. It acted like the battery was dead - which was a fairly new (3months) old) Lithium Ion Shorai Battery. I replaced the LiOn with the OEM battery (that's $500 in battery's and a LiOn charger). After much research online it seems this is a known issue with the Denso factory starter motor. The brushes wear unevenly, and quickly.
Cons: brushes wear unevenly, quickly
Mileage: 10000 km
