Well the F*rd
6.0 starter has already gone south. I have only put about 300 miles on the truck and started it up about 100 times. Yesterday I drove it down the road and shut it off and when I went to start it up it wouldn't do anything. I had to travel 120 miles , one way, just to go get another starter and pay $172 for the starter plus the fuel to drive up and back.
It was a good thing I wasn't far from the house because you have to grind a relief in the mounting flange of the new starter to get it to fit. It's funny because when I was installing the first one I thought that I should probably buy a second starter and grind the relief in it and then store it in the toolbox just in case something like this happens. Maybe Ken will make it right and then I will have my spare starter.
