Starter bendex failed
At 126,000 mi. my starter bendex has failed.
I have a 2001 7.3 psd.
Ford Dealer only has complete starters, no parts, found a new bendex and a sol.for $62.00.
Back to good for now.
Found out the hard way that there is a production change in 2001 with the bendex. Bearings are different. There are two bendex for the 2001 model and the salesman didn't relay this info to me at the time of sale. Though it was the only option but after taking the starter apart that is when i notice that the bearing on the bendex was slightly larger on my starter then the new one so put starter back in truck and back the next day i go to get the right one. Would of bought both and return the wrong one if the salesman would of said something.Just thought i would share this with ya all! easy job!!
