Starter motor Denso or AC DELCO

I have replaced the Starter Motor/Solenoid with a reman Denso unit, the Starter Relay, and the Throttle Position Sensor, and it seems to have basically solved most of the issues I’ve been having.

The key is to replace with an OEM Toyota or a Denso (the brand Toyota uses) and not an AutoZone special.

I went through 3 autozone starters in a year one ac Delco 4 years ago and it's still starts easy and quiet

I put in a reman denso starter in my 06 Titan back in 2017. Still working great!

Have any of the starters been Denso brand? I thought I remember hearing that for certain models of Japanese cars the starter HAS to be Denso (the OEM manufacturer) or it wont spin fast enough consistently to start the engine.

If it’s like the ones over here in the US, it’ll fit but the cable connector is in a slightly different place. I have a Denso Accord starter on my car now.

The top one is OE Denso. The aftermarket new Chinesium on the bottom. But I’ve heard better things about new Chinesium than reman Mexican.

the denso I had before was sealed water tight.

Went with the ACDelco, and it starts great! No grinding or clunking, so it didn't need to be shimmed. Thank you all for the assistance!

Ive just put the 3rd starter on my truck ('94 f150 w/351w) in about 2.5 years. All Delcos sense thats all I can get quickly here. The first one quite entirely and the last one still spun but would not engage the flywheel.
