Ford 5.4L Triton Starter Replacement (1997-2003) | F150, Expedition, Navigator

Is your Ford turning over slowly, clicking, or doing absolutely nothing when you turn the key? [06:30] On the 5.4L Triton, the starter is tucked away under the passenger-side exhaust manifold, making it a prime target for heat soak and oil leaks [05:43]. Most shops will quote you $400–$600 for this job [07:47]—but I’m showing you the "Combat Roll" method to swap it yourself and save that cash. In this tutorial, I walk you through the 2002 Ford Expedition starter replacement [00:32]. I’ll show you the 10mm and 13mm bolt locations [02:29], the trick to using a 6-inch extension and a wobble to reach that "impossible" top bolt [06:09], and why you MUST use PB Blaster on those corroded solenoid studs to avoid breaking them [03:06]. Don't get stranded in a parking lot.
