Starter motor OEM FORD or Duralast
I had the same issue with my 2016 V6 Touring. I followed the instructions on the TSB, replaced the starter with a Duralast Gold starter from Autozone ($400), & replaced the alternator (OEM) at the dealership. No issues at all. It has been over a year and a half.
I've gotten in the habit of installing the smaller, lighter, more powerful DL9990S in all of my older small block trucks that use the big heavy 3510 series starters. Never once had an issue with them.
Replaced mine with a Duralast and worked wonders I even made a youtube video on it.
I was having the intermittent no start on my 2018 5.0 F150. I’m at roughly 42K miles. Swapped battery, still had the issue. Swapped starter, now starting and remote start back to normal. I feel like a starter should last more than 40K.
It is obviously made out pot metal, so yeah super cheap.
the starter actually failed at 35,000km
Every single ford focus ive replaced transmissions on, that stud breaks. Every. Single. Time.
Brittle starters
these were inexpensive starters
The plastic on those is more brittle than paper thin ice.
