Starter for 4.6?

[DavidEBSmith]

Beginning to suspect the starter on our Mountaineer. RockAuto has TYC (Asian OEM supplier), Remy, AC Delco, some other unknown brands. Any good/bad comments for any of these? Is this one of those parts where the Motorcraft part is worth twice the price?

I just did it last month.

For the starter since it's a critical part, I went with manufactured MOTORCRAFT SA-998RM.

Somehow I felt better with a brand name.

08 Ltd 4.6 needs starter. How to remove top bolt.
