gear reduction starter 1986 4.9l
I need a gear reduction starter for my truck. Its a 86 4.9 with a 4 speed manual I ordered one from amazon that was supposed to fit but the gear stuck out too far so it couldn't disengage. Summit has some (expensive) options but i feel like i may get the same problem. I saw one starter say it was only for 5 speed manual and the automatic, which i think may be what i got despite amazon saying it'd fit. Anyone know a good gear reduction starter that'll fit?

I have a shop installing it for me and the gear that engages with the flywheel in the starter clearly sits nearly an inch farther forward compared to the one that was in it. there were no instructions with the one i ordered but i'm assuming he installed it correctly they recommended it.

Well, if the shop tried to trigger the solenoid from the starter cable it WILL stay engaged. (self excitation and backfeed)
They need to wire the starter cable to battery+ and run a 12Ga. wire from the starter solenoid -where the cable USED to be- down to the new starter's solenoid.
I have fixed too many **** up's to have to explain how I know this to be true.

There's some conflicting info between their website and amazon. Amazon says its only for the 92-97 4.9 but their website say what you told me. All the info says they're the exact same starter. Did you order from amazon or their website?

I have a 460, not the same starter.
I ordered mine from Amazon (they ship from DB)
A reflective, insulating blanket to keep the header heat from cooking the windings in the starter.
Think of it as an oven mitt.

They retrofit to older models though (IF you follow the wiring instructions)
One other thing.
The DB starters come with both a ring terminal and a spade terminal to attach the trigger wire.
The spade terminal was always a problem on Fords.
Since you need to run a new wire anyhow, just unbolt the 'tongue' and use the eyelet.
