the spade connector was a source of corrosion.
a new starter the last time i bought one was just a little less than 100 dollars at advance auto.
not sure at napa but if they have cheapest starter, next more expensive and most expensive i would get one of the 2 more expensive.
good luck and tell us what happens after you get the truck started.

QL2, you got ripped. I bought a brand new (not reman) Motorcraft starter at Advance for about $65. ANY new or reman starter for these trucks will have the threaded post on the solenoid and a patch kit to splice to the OE wiring. There was a service advisory from Ford that prompted this move by starter rebuilders and manufacturers. A printed copy generally comes with the starter, but dunno if it's in ALL brands. I did get one with my Motorcraft, though. One of these days, I'll find it again, and scan it for posting in the gallery.

everything is atached and it turns over, but it wont start,
plugs and wires look new, block heater is plugged in
its been sitting for a little while, since 2006 I think (last registered in 06) , so it could just be old gas ..... right?
