F-150 3.5 Ecoboost Starter Replacement (2011-2019)

[@tomscyclerecycling8242]

Excellent video! It was extremely helpful and I got the job done quickly thanks to you. No nonsensical chatter too, which made it even better. Keep 'em coming and thanks!

[@flintmcmanly]

Great instructions. Might be the easiest starter replacement I've ever done. In and out in less than an hour.

[@TsunauticusIV]

Oh man I think the easiest starter replacements I’ve done were on early 2000s 4x4 Ford Excursions with the 6.8 V10s. I could slide up under them so quickly that it was funny. I could switch those starters in 10 mins. Absolute cake on those. My 2012 F150 is a pain to get under without ramping or lifting it.

[@brandonbrown9877]

Saved me big time bro, my starter went out on me at work this morning, but once I saw ya video I knew I’d be back on the road again quickly 💯

[@AleX-vs4rd]

Very kind of you for the video save me from the predatory dealerships and the crooked mechanics.... please continue to spread the knowledge our nation needs it ! real man ! Can do Man ! we appreciate it ! Thank you again

[@thecoffeemuggamer6328]

Awesome video! I just purchased a 2015 with the NA engine. It has 195k on the clock and the starter just died. I noticed it had a weak start but I only drive it once a week at most. Thank you!

[@danieljacobs6921]

The starter left me stranded at a costumers house. I didn’t even know where it was located on the truck. Saw your video, walked to the parts store and back in business.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Man that does not sound fun. But I’m glad u got it changed out and I’m glad this video helped u! Cheers!!

[@livewateraquariums1632]

Literally have the same situation right now

[@Akmerica]

This was a great how to video mine went out without any notice. It was -5 out and had it changed out in 30 mins thank you

[@keydaniels]

HUGE thank you for this video! Just replaced my starter and it sounds like new.

[@clauderay8649]

That was very informative. Thought it was gonna be a bit more for those of us who may be a bit less mechanically inclined. 😅

[@Soaringeagle_82]

I appreciate this video I plan on replacing mine my self because I went to an auto shop to just get 3 things replaced my belt my tension pulley and gas cap. My truck started up just fine before I took it there and now I magically have a problem starting it I think I smell tampered with and hint of BS

[@JohnJoyce-jx1gu]

Thanks for the video, got a 12 eco and the solenoid failed on me today. Will replace them both as soon as they can be shipped off amazon. ;-)

[@vitob5898]

Thank you so much. Watched your video and you saved my a good chunk of change. Take care Buddy.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Glad to hear!!! Thanks man

[@0509kj]

Really like your videos. Definitely interested in more first gen Titan videos if you have any rolling through. I actually just passed on buying a '13 King Ranch with the 3.5 in favor of a '15 Titan because there Ford looked like it hadn't been well loved in its earlier ownership. Thanks for taking the time on your videos! Very helpful.

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Thanks for the kind words! I love the titans too! How do you like the 15? And I have a couple Titan videos I will upload next week.

[@0509kj]

@@AaronHinesAuto Nice! I'm quite happy with it so far. Last year of the 1st-gen so hopefully most of the kinks ironed out ya know? Compared to the Ford it's a little smaller but it just fits in the garage lol. I'm in love with the rear slider window it's like twice the size as on the Ford and just rips air through the cabin when the sunroof is open. She is thirsty though!

[@ShiftyCactus]

Just replaced my starter on my 2013 F150 following this video, was super easy. Thanks for the guidance.

[@aaron___6014]

Did it fail from corrosion?

[@mickthedawg4575]

have a 2015 King Ranch--had her towed home today-no crank no start. Never gave a single indication the starter was going bad. Just stopped working and the electronics went wonkie trying to start it. I hope its the starter, Part is on order. 127K on the truck though

[@Bigfoot46555]

How do you know if it's only the solenoid or if it's both a starter or the solenoid? I'm dealing with a 2011 that when I turned it over and release the key so it will auto start I just get a single click and then nothing happens. Is the solenoid built into it?

[@sentpacking3879]

Thx a lot.... haven't yet done the job yet but this is going to help Im sure.

[@jasonstrickland8916]

Any reason my knew starter doesn't sound clean has a little screech like it needs a shim?

[@paulsroomrenos8439]

I have F150 2017 eco boost Won’t turn over but battery is good and all fuses and relays checked. Would I be able to do this job myself in my yard if it was on ramps? , how can I be sure it’s the starter before I commit to doing this, thanks in advance

[@albertferguson6403]

Great video brother. Thanks again !!

[@juanmanuel9199]

The starter has an annoying Sound when u tries to start the Truck?

[@josegalvanperales2582]

Thanks for this video...thankfully very much......can't done this job with out you help!!!!🤝

[@D3AThCAl2DS]

sister got one... I get to work on it... why are there so many issues?

[@duarte9058]

I purchased my starters from Autozone lifetime warranty. This is the third starter I replace since January 2023 currently is anyone else having constant starter issues? I have a 2017 eco boost 3.5

[@cdeleon97]

I'm having the same issue. Going to return my autozone starter for the second time. Just spins and doesn't engage.

[@BushWookie603]

Can I ask, how did your starter go out? Did it just stop working one day? My truck was running fine and starting fine, then I noticed it would take a half a second or so for the starter to kick in, and now its nothing. No click, no crank, I've checked fuses, tested battery, etc. Would love to hear back, thank you

[@duarte9058]

@@BushWookie603 replace your battery get it tested make sure it doesn’t fail. My battery always seem like it was fine until it was put under the machine and I realized that it had cells that were failing. Otherwise you couldn’t tell last starter I replaced. I replaced the battery as well. I’ve had no more issues whatsoever. Nice smooth start now.

[@Matt-s8x]

Go with another brand, duralast parts are known for being absolute trash. Preferably motorcraft if you can find one

[@CCscott]

Well done video! Do these starters die sooner due to the start/ stop feature?

[@ricardoscale1285]

I don't think that they do just follow the rule of thumb that 80,000 miles that is ran on a starter before changing it out

[@frankyouvon1427]

Thank you for the great video!!!

[@MattHayashi]

What brand is that cordless rachet?

[@somewhereinarizona793]

Great video. Doing this tomorrow.

[@legacydentco]

2 starters in less than 2 years, any thoughts? Thank you for the video!

[@legacydentco]

2014 Ford F150 3.5 Eco Platinum…just in case you ever see this

[@307.William]

Can you view the flex plate teeth at all during this process? Maybe with a mirror

[@stevekim7d2]

My starter sounds like it’s not disengaging for one second I’m not sure if it’s because it’s very cold here all the sudden

[@tomcompoli]

Mines been doing this for a few months. Drove it around yesterday. Got home. Wouldn't start this morning. Just a click. Charged battery 100% still just a click. Jumped the starter at the terminals and it had enough power to jump it there, then the truck was able to start it. Solenoid likely dying. Ordered a replacement today. It's easy to change.

[@Thyhuynh2008]

Really helpful , thanks so much

[@wolfredstar1482]

Why only the negative on the battery and not the positive also?

[@nameless-og]

So you dont have to remove both. Positive should always be attached before negative comes on/off, to prevent any arcing

[@OEM19]

Hi and thank you for the video it was very helpful. I replaced my starter on my 2017 and now I’m getting a different grinding noise. Any thoughts as to why it might be doing that? Is there any adjustment on this starter when installing? Thank you in advance.

[@ricardoscale1285]

I am kind a late to this but ensure it is all the way in so that teeths are in the Groove with the flywheel

[@jakekielwein4496]

Is there enough room to do this without having a jack/jack stands?

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Yes!

[@keydaniels]

The skid plate under my 2012 had 4 13mm bolts. Just fyi to anyone that slid under their truck without jacking up.

[@devinthomas4866]

I have a dead starter on 2012 Ecoboost I think I'm going to remove the entire starter from housing, then remove wires Anybody else tried this? Thanks for video

[@samb378]

Thanks

[@wolfredstar1482]

Also, what if every single f***ing bolt breaks?😅🤷‍♂️

[@ig7473]

I changed my starter following your awesome video, everything went well. She started right up, took it for a drive and the truck shutoff while driving !!! Now this is all i'm getting kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zdY2ebbqqfr5o Anyone ever seen this problem?

[@zachdaniel4126]

2017 F150 36,400 and the dealer just quoted me 510 plus tax to replace. Ford's quality is really going down hill....

[@jakeurbom3887]

Did yours not fall under powertrain warranty?

[@502Chevy]

I agree.

[@CatchMeOffroad]

Same here. 52k on raptor and needs replaced. Starters are not covered under Powertrain warranty FYI

[@Hudbudd]

238,000 on my 12 Ecoboost, finally doing it today.
