[QUOTE="powerlifter405, post: 1538398, member: 2044"] First and foremost we need a sticky of simple ford or easy/low buck mods. Easier to search a single thread and we all can go to the same place vs searching hundreds of threads.... My rant. I read about the 6.4 and 6.7 starter and opted for the 6.7 as I was reading it was cheaper but more importantly a better starter. I have owned 2 - 7.3's a 6.4 and now a 6.0. The 6.4 has AWESOME starting capability in the dead of winter, minus -30 and no block heater and it cranks right up. My 6.0, not so much. It will but chugs horribly. I don't always have access to an electrical outlet. The 7.3 wouldn't start after being unplugged for 2 weeks in the dead of -30 MN winters. Plugged in for a day plus a battery charger plus the bronco jumping the batteries w/ even more juice was what it took. Anyway.. The 6.0 starter has probably 200k+ miles on it. Sometimes the starter was sluggish so I opted for the 6.7 upgrade. I found a salvage 2018 w/ 40k online for $62 shipped. It looked nearly brand new when it arrived so yeah for me. There is one, the lower bolt that needs to be changed. Use a 8mm-1.25x45 I used Fastenal # 1138620, .54 cents. I also got a hi-alloy grade 8 split washer and grade 8 washer due to the sleeve. The 8mm barely has any of the bolt head making contact w/ the bellhousing thus the need for the washer. Also 2 of the 3 bolts were loose when I pulled the old housing so I wanted piece of mind w/ the split washer. I did use blue loc-tite on the new bolts just in case. I did have to get a sleeve from Ace hardware, a steel spacer 5/16 ID - .469 OD x 1inch. The rest is self explanatory for install. Results, awesome. It has a similar sound to the crank of the 6.4. The speed is noticeably faster and even the wife noticed it. A well while cheap and easy upgrade. Some may say don't bother but in a cold climate the faster the motor is turning, IMHO opinion the faster the oil pressure and HPOP pressure is up to par and that results in faster start times=less battery drain. So far so good here. I hope this helps someone. [/QUOTE]
