All I get is a click when i turn the ignition. It started out just doing it every now and then, but now its all the time. I beat my starter with a hammer and it starts after that for a while. I am going to replace the starter. I want some advice on what brand to get. Should i go OEM or are there some good quality remans out there?

 

It sounds like just a solinoid

 

just rebuild it yourself, all it needs is the contacts and plunger, probably less than $15 in parts from your local auto electric rebuilder. search and you will find out how easy it is. DO yourself a favor and save yourself $100.

 

This same thing happened to my buddy's bronco he would beat it with a credentials wrench and it would start.but he ended up having to get a new starter.he would get like 2 starts rack time he hit it lol.but as soon as he put the new starter in it was good.I just go to auto zone the have a lifetime warranty on there stuff.

ford starters are not as easily rebuilt, you would be wasting your money. I did this already to mine, has held up just fine. pretty common repair as long as the starter is still acutally turning. actually it's the very first repair I did to mine shortly after I bought it.

 

bottom line is i hate doing starters.

 

Is there anywhere I can order the parts I need cheaper than a dealership. Dealership wants 17.00 each for the contacts and 28.00 for the plunger.

 

Sure:

Usually only need the contacts, just hit the plunger ring with some fine sandpaper and it is good to go.

 

Paypal sent.

 

Well, I just did my first starter repair. I must say, it was not as hard as I though it was going to be. Thanks for all the replies and thanks to 4crawler for fast shipping.

 

Jut in case anyone searches up on this link i'll ad my rebuild link, I followed 4crawlers thread and it was a piece of cake, hardest part was getting the starter out and back in,

Once again preciate it 4crawler and congrats on the repair skinamer
