Description: Updated 25 Dec 2017: CAUTION: Before you go out and buy a starter it's important for you to know there are two starters for these years. One has three holes and one has two holes. Both MAY work from what some of viewers have told me. I say MAY because some viewers say going from the 3 hole to 2 hole didn't work for them, even after three units. I have also had viewers say both units have worked for them. So if you want to take a chance on going to a 2 hole from a 3 hole go ahead, just be aware you may have to return it. If you purchased it from eBay they may not take it back because it was installed, making it used. If you do try going that route I would buy from a local parts store and not turn in the core until you know it will work. The installation should be pretty much the same for both units, minus one bolt. Personally I would go with the same unit you pulled unless you know for sure the other will work.
My MOTTO in vehicle repair is: "Vehicles are expensive, when it has to count the first time! Go with what you know, unless proven otherwise".
My 7.3L became harder and harder to start. I checked the batteries and cables and they were fine so this led me to the starter. This video is how I reinstalled my starter. I've been doing auto mechanics for years so as with all auto mechanical work some risk is involved. If you try this procedure you do it at your own risk.
