85blueox Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 So if it is an original Ford starter from mid 90s it will be a PMGR, what about these aftermarket ones I see on amazon or rock auto? Any idea on those? What is the difference between an OSGR starter and a PMGR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351FUN Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 What is the difference between an OSGR starter and a PMGR? Just mounting, it's in the name. The offset starters help with fitment issues sometimes. If everything is stock and you didn't already have one I wouldn't change to one. I've been using the powermaster mastertorque starters for a while now, much smaller and more powerful than the stock ones and infinitely variable offset too. The stock starter isn't usable with the headers on my engine so I switched to this one and have been using them on other vehicles as needed. The good news is a starter is just a motor, easy to diagnose and easy to build so aftermarket companies have far overtaken what ford did 40 years ago. Conversely, it's just a starter and it doesn't affect much so improvements don't really matter much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrl883 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 AFAIK the diesel engines have always used a PMGR starter because of the high compression in those engines. Except '83-'84 6.9 engines. They originally had a Delco Remy starter that ate flywheel ring gears left and right. Only use the Mitsubishi starters on IDI engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
