Many years ago Mel who is one of this forums well known members had a solenoid fail on the Moose truck. So being the kind of guy he is he purchased a less costly solenoid thinking they looked the same so they must be the same.. Well they are not. It soon failed. so he then purchased the oem solenoid from ford. Then he opened up the failed cheaper one and the original factory one that failed... BIG DIFFERANCE in how they were made. The cheaper one was so weakly made it had no option but to fail with the amps going thru it. I too have felt many after market solenoids look the same and even purchased one to replace my fender mounted solenoid hoping to fix a starter issue. Lucky for me I saved the oem part... We do learn by our mistakes and hopefully was can share them here so others wont do the same.
Yep it takes a lot to be banned over here. Being a ******* gets Ya a membership over at FTE.
Ha! A one way ticket! Cream of the crop huh?
Like having your own ice cream shop.
Wait that's blue bell never mind
So the difference in the contactor (relay) that makes a difference, is this... most if not all of the aftermarket el cheapo (advance... autozone... Oriely's) products are what I call the bar type contactor. When they make and break contact, they hit the same spot over and over again, which results in constant pitting and decreased life span. The GOOD more expensive ones (Motorcraft, International) are DISC type contactors. There is actually a disc instead of a bar, and it rotates randomly, offering a fresh contact surface to close the circuit. This results in less pitting and many more actuations in the life of the part. The other quality difference is that higher quality relays use silver for their contacts, instead of copper. As we all know, silver is a lot more expensive than copper, so... you get what you pay for.
Unfortunately Al has a bit more experience in that section, but almost sounds like a exhaust chuff. Hard to tell though.
Almost sounds like a fuel delivery problem though. Have you changed the fuel filter?
