Don't know but get one designed for your truck .. that starter draws a lot of current and if it was replaced with something lower rated .. then the contacts probably welded together.

yeah, get a new sol. from napa or the like.. ford don't make them anymore, unless you get the starter too.. price is from $48-$55
one thing I did when I changed mine, was to replace the phillips head screws that hold the sol. on with hex head bolts.. so next time I won't have to take the starter off..

good luck gettting that starter on and off very fast, that top bolt on the starter is a PITA to get at.. unless you can manage to get the phillips loose with the starter on.. I couldn't though
