Description

You can rely on the XDP HD Gear Reduction Starter (New) Wrinkle Black XD253 to get your 1994-2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke running in the most extreme environments. XDP's HD Gear Reduction Starters are faster, stronger, and more durable than your factory starter. This gives you the ability to turn over even the most aggressive diesel engines. 

XDP's HD Gear Reduction Starters feature a motor that is faster, more efficient, and draws less amperage. The Gear Reduction Design produces more torque than a factory unit. Each starter comes pre-tested, ready for installation and features a durable "Wrinkle Black" finish for corrosion resistance and aesthetics. Includes adapter plate and mounting bolts required for installation on manual transmission applications.

Features: 
  • Wrinkle Black Finish 
  • Increased Durability 
  • HD Gear Reduction Design
  • Includes Spacer & Bolts Required For Use On Manual Transmission Applications.
Tech Notes: 
Depending on the conditions, a starter can pull up to 500 amps. These levels of amperage stress ALL components in the circuit including cables, terminals, batteries, and more. Problems with these components can be difficult to diagnose as they appear fine at rest and under a light load, but generate high resistance under heavy amperage draws. This results in low voltage to the starter while cranking, causing heavier amperage draw, and increased heat leading to starter failure. Batteries, cables and additional components should be checked and serviced regularly. Voltage measured at the starter during cranking should always be above 11V DC. Starter heat shields are not required, but are an excellent idea for heat protection.

New XDP starter for my 7.3 works great. Super heavy duty, twice the size of my mean green that quit on me.

Answer
Yes! Our XDP Wrinkle Black HD Gear Reduction Starter XD253 is designed to work on all 1994-2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstrokes regardless if they came equipped with the factory two bolt, or three bolt starter. For trucks equipped with the factory two bolt starter you will simply install the new starter using only two bolts instead of the three.
