Mean Green Gear Reduction Starter 94-03 7.3L Ford Powerstroke
Description
The Mean Green Gear Reduction Starter is the answer to all of your starter problems. The Mean Green Starter provides 100% more torque than an overweight stock starter. With a 4.4 to 1 gear reduction, roller bearing support, and an integrated solenoid, the Mean Green Starter can crank any engine no matter how high its static compression.
The Mean Green Starter's 3" tool steel driveshaft is supported at both ends by bearings. The stainless steel pinion shaft is externally splined to mate with the larger diameter, internally splined driveshaft. Even the armature in the high-speed motor is supported at each end with bearings. All totaled, there are five bearings in the motor and gear assembly.

How it works
After checkout, we route your vehicle info and part SKU to verified installation shops near you. Local installers review the job and submit competitive bids; you pick the shop you want based on price, reviews, and availability. Your name and email stay private until you select an installer.
Pricing
You pay for the bid from your preferred shop. The full amount is shown before you confirm — installers cannot add charges without your written consent. Payments are processed securely by Stripe.
Your privacy
During bidding, shops see only your service ZIP code, vehicle year/make/model, and the part SKU — not your name, email, or address. Only the shop you select receives your contact details after payment. We never sell your personal information.

Happy with the starter so
"Happy with the starter so far, helps with starting my 7. 3 on cold days. Starter showed up on time in great condition."
Received the starter broken. No
"Received the starter broken. No sweat. Mean green sent me a replacement. Starter was installed and let me tell you. This starter is no joke. My 7. 3l excursion fires up quicker than the modern day diesel. Yes the starter is pricey but I Highly recommend this starter."

"Truck starts quicker now"
Mean green
"This is the best starter you can get. Bolts right up to factory position and spins like hell. Very strong and no modifications needed. This was well worth it considering how slow the stock starter is. Would buy again, very happy."
Love this thing
"This thing is so much better than stock ones. My last OEM didn’t last long and was really weak compared to this one. It has no problem cranking up that big ole 7. 3"
Great Product for the money
"Installed on 2002 F350 dually with 7. 3L and a few engine mods. Have had several starters in past with constant strain on starters. Very noticeable sound at first startup. Very good torque with quick startups now. Was hesitant on cost but after several other starters I took a chance and have been very pleased with results!!"
