I bought a starter for my truck about 3 months ago, it looks just like this one. They don't need the nose cone, it fit right in. It was another Oreilly special.

I think I'm fortunate, I have a starter/alternator rebuilder locally that I use, I think when he rebuilt the starter for mine he charged a little over $100. I suspect that, between him having a home shop, and the fact I've likely sent him over a dozen customers the last couple years, is why I tend to get good service. Unless he's totally swamped, he often tests and tears down while I wait, and that way he can tell me exactly how long and what parts it requires before I even leave the shop.

Ok thanks for all the input guys! I really don't pay attention to pictures as they're not necessarily application specific, that's where the confusion came from. Was looking for opinions about the companies and type of starter which I got so thanks. This is one of the parts for my truck that is weird. Even though I have the factory turbo [K] the starter for the truck is non turbo [M]. Go figure. Anyway I'll be going with the remaned gear reduction Mitsubishi with the lifetime warranty versus the tired one I have that had a three year warranty.

Actually the starters are the same on the NA and Turbo engines.

When you go into most parts houses, when you say 7.3 turbo they automatically think Power Stroke.
