did you add the spacer in the new starter

She sounds good! What exhaust are you running after the headers?

[@whiskeycreekcustoms6296]

Thanks Chad! Currently it’s just wide open headers which is why she sounds so good 😂 However; to keep the neighbours & Johnny Law happy, the Flowmaster Super 40’s that I mocked up a while back will be going back on, using 2.5” pipe, an H pipe, and exiting or dumping just in front of the rear tires. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpC1qKOXhMesZ8k Once I get it through inspection I may swap them for some original 40’s. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

I have a F600 with a 330FT looks like the starter will work on it too,I have 00 cables on it, really spins with the OEM starter

[@whiskeycreekcustoms6296]

Bigger cables are always a good idea! Thanks for watching!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

With that new compact starter, are you able to remove and replace it without loosen up or removing your header?

[@AmandaRagsdale-j3p]

Im not mechanically inclined, i was wondering if those gaskets always need changed when putting in a new starter? Just good practice? Thank you

[@whiskeycreekcustoms6296]

@@AmandaRagsdale-j3p I have been told that remflex gaskets can be reused, but I don’t know if I trust that. For any other style of header gasket they should certainly be replaced to avoid leaks. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻👍🏻

Did you have to use the shim it comes with?

[@whiskeycreekcustoms6296]

I did not. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidmccullough4342]

I can't for the life of me get the starter out past the headers. I've unbolted It but it's trapped. The video doesn't show how you actually got it out... can you show/explain? Thanks so much. Great video!

[@whiskeycreekcustoms6296]

Reverse of how I installed it at the beginning of the video. Unbolt the header and slide it up and and forward. That will leave you tons of room to get the starter out. Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidmccullough4342]

@@whiskeycreekcustoms6296 Thanks for the reply! I'll give it a go but for some reason I couldn't move the header far enough to create enough space for the starter.

[@whiskeycreekcustoms6296]

@@davidmccullough4342 it can be a bit of a juggling act-especially with a full size starter. It will come out though!

[@davidmccullough4342]

@@whiskeycreekcustoms6296 Will give it another shot

[@davidmccullough4342]

Just a quick update... I had my son hold the header from the top and I was able to slide the old starter out and the new one in from underneath. Success! I still can't start the truck but replacing the solenoid today.
