Personally I only use stock starters. What motor are you having problems.
I have 1990 f250 with the 5.8. I have replaced all cables. I took the new 4 ga cable I had just bought for the ground and grounded out the starter with it and replaced it with a 2 gauge cable. I also wrapped the starter DEI heat wrap. The truck has headers but they 're the size of a stock manifold and they don't run down by the starter. I am on the third Oreilly rebuilt starter. The battery that the truck has is a 880 CCA battery.

You can also find them on Ebay and Amazon.
Pretty sure the same starter is used on 5.0 and 4.9's
Just be sure to get the one for a flywheel, because an automatic starter will destroy itself as soon as the engine fires.
