Description: Updated 25 Dec 2017: Before you go out and buy a starter it's important for you to know there are two starters for this year. One has three holes and one has two holes. Both will work from what some of viewers have told me. But the installation should be pretty much the same, minus one bolt. Personally I would go with the same one unless you know for sure the other will work.
So make sure you look at your starter to know which one you need, this video is for the three hole version. If you're still not sure crawl under the truck and look at it real good, maybe take a few pictures and go to the autoparts store. You may even take out the starter and take it to the store with you. The three holes are on eBay for around $75.00 to $105.00. Precision Diesel on eBay usually cost a few bucks more but they have a great return policy if you have a problem. I purchased the two hole version based on the compatibility chart on their site and they paid the return shipping and gave me a full refund. NO HASSLE what so ever.
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 removed 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.
I did a three part series on how to open, clean up the comutator and Brushes and then reassemble it.
