Another starter question
Didn't want to hijack the previous starter thead...
'94 f350 crewcab, IDI factory turbo-
Tried to get a starter from Napa and the one they got for us wasn't even a gear reduction starter, which is what came off the truck. I wasn't with him at the store, but I think my uncle said either that was what the computer showed for the IDI, or they just couldn't locate the one we need (can't remember). I don't know what the vehicle actually came with-maybe I have a powerstroke starter? Can anyone with this same vehicle please tell me what kind of starter I should have? An actual part #, price, and where you got it would be wonderful!
Thanks.

Go ask for a 93 starter, 94 is usually confused with PSD
order this starter from Autozone...Duralast-offset gear reduction Mitsubishi, part # 16561 , core charge = $120.00 USD( so take old one with you), Limited Lifetime Waranty. Even if your old starter is a different brand (mine was an AC Delco ) get the Mitsubushi- Autozone doesn't care. From what these guys told me about replacing this starter ...I expected it to be very difficult, it wasn't, 15 minutes out, one hour to Autozone and back, 15 minutes back in. It takes longer just to get the tools rounded up. While you're doing this starter R&R you might also want to stick a STUD (longer bolt with head cut off will do) in the top bolt hole so you can hang the starter up there while you're messin' with the bottom bolts. Use tape to hold the top nut in the socket and to hold the socket onto the extension. P.S. My Autozone starter has been in there for 4 yrs now and still spins the engine as fast as it did on day one.
