Looks like an excellent donor!

In my opinion, the noisier the motor, the better. They don't cackle with low compression.

 

Really? Good to know. Any way banks are all closed here today and I only have US cash so I will have to wait till tomorrow.

 

That one was sold tonight to someone else. So the hunt continues.
​​​​​​
I should just sell mine.

 

That sucks... The hunt continues, indeed.

 

Thanks for understanding Nate.

I have taken matters into my hands and gone after trucks that are not for sale. I know what I am after and Thursday could be a very good day....

 

Anyone have a good source for starter parts and/or rebuild kits? I'm not having much luck with google search.

Edit: This would be for the 5.4 Expedition, not the PSD.

 

So, that was you at the gas station trying to buy my truck? lol I get people trying to buy-trade all the time at gas stations, mostly the 6.0 & 6.4 guys.

 

Glenn. Your truck isn't green.....

Still got my fingers and toes crossed that the fifth time will be a charm.

 

Here ya go

https://www.aspwholesale.com/starter-rebuild-kits.html

 

Yeah, I found that site shortly after posting here, but they can keep their damn parts! I want to buy parts, not shipping. The bendix gear I need is only $11, but the shipping is $10. If I buy the whole starter, it's only $99, but the shipping is $56. That's just for USPS Priority mail.

I've found another site where I can get a rebuild kit that includes the solenoid, bendix, brush holder ***’y, bushings and snap rings for $35, but they're on vacation for 2 weeks and the site is shut down for ordering.

 

Truck isn't green but my new car is.

 

 

My wife wanted a auto because her hip is giving her problems shifting her beetle. Found a 2002 beetle with 60K that is almost perfect shape. Drives and shifts good too. Haven't bought it yet but Monday we just might get the TDI. Wish now I had taken a picture. Unless I have Nate's problem and it gets taken before we get back to it.

 

Glenn, I wish you the best in the purchase!

As for my luck. I had to make it happen, the jury is still out on the result but it is in the driveway.

 

Thanks Nate, the guy will meet us tomorrow even though its a holiday here.

Your purchase looks real good and both of them will make you a nice truck!
