BBB Industries N3152 Starter for Ford Applications

The BBB Industries NEW STARTER N3152 is a 12-volt direct drive starter built for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications that use a 4-1/2 inch MOD series design. It features a closed nose cone, clockwise rotation, a 9-tooth pinion, and an included starter drive for OE-style starting performance.

Use this starter for Ford F-150, F-250, and F-350 trucks, along with select Bronco, Econoline, LTD, Thunderbird, Continental, Cougar, Grand Marquis, and Marquis applications. The N3152 is a practical replacement for vehicles that need a direct-drive starter without an attached solenoid.

Detailed Description

BBB Industries N3152 is a replacement starter engineered for a wide range of Ford truck and car platforms from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. It cross-references OE-style part numbers including D2HF-11001-E, D7AZ-11002-A, D8AF-11001-AA, E1TF-11001-BA, and E1TZ-11002-B for the same application. This starter is a direct-drive, 12V unit with a closed nose cone and clockwise rotation, making it a straightforward choice for restoring reliable cranking performance on compatible Ford F-150, F-250, and F-350 models, as well as select Bronco and Econoline vehicles.

The NEW STARTER line from BBB Industries focuses on replacement starting components for common domestic applications, and the N3152 follows that approach with OE-style fitment coverage and the correct drive configuration for listed vehicles. It is also listed for 1978-1979 Ford Thunderbird, 1978-1979 Lincoln Continental, and 1978-1979 Mercury Cougar applications, plus additional Ford and Mercury full-size platforms.

• Check the nose cone style and mounting pattern before installation.
