starter solenoids

[9073]

I have determined that the starter solenoid on the starter of my truck is bad, I called a couple of parts stores and they all want an a$$load for the starter. Autozone recommended that i get my starter rebuilt over buying a new one.
1. Does anybody have a good used one to sell me?
2.Anybody know where to get a decent one cheap?
3. Would you reccomend getting the starter + solenoid rebuilt.
4. Is there any way to just get the solenoid?

This truck is a curse.

Thanks
Matt

well, first off how did you determine that the soleinoid is bad? second..... junkyards are my best friend...there are an ****load of f150,f250,f350's in every yard ive been to... figure out year, series (150,250,350), and wether gas/diesel applications are inchangeable, and then go hunting.

Ask the seller on the link, I rebuild all my starters with He's parts and allways work good

Btw if you get the parts from this guy make sure you have a good (and I mean GOOD) soldering gun, you'll see.

which one the one on the fender or the one on the starter

 

[Mr_Roboto]

The one for the fender is the cheap one!! Maybe 14 bucks.

If you go in the store they will ask you "fender or starter mounted".

Also, Make sure which starter you have. At some point in time, the P O on my truck had the starter replaced at an International shop, and they used an international starter, which takes a Chevy Solonoid. Loads Cheaper than a ford!
