2001 X Starter

I have done a lot of searching and etc on a starter. I see a ton of mix reviews on Mean Green. Diesel Power has 14 5 star reviews, go to XDP and 1/3 give it 1 star and says failed within 1st year.

So I am considering the Denso from CNCFab.com, the PowerMaster, and Mean Green.

I am looking for people that have installed any of the 3 and did you have any issues?

2001 Ford X 7.3

7.3 is a beast to crank and the stock starter just stinks. Did you see a big improvement from the 6.7?

I also went with the 6.7 starter on my old 02 F250 and on the Ex.
Yes it spins much faster, worth doing.

I've put them in both our 7.3L trucks and noticed a difference, but I didn't realize it until we got our first cold spell afterwards. My F350 stays outside...too big for the garage...and it somewhat solved the cold start issues when the temperature gets in the 40's, being it spins the motor over faster.
