Starter motor Denso or AC DELCO

It needed a battery and alternator and starter. Starter was the most difficult to do, but I didn\u2019t feel like it was horrible.

When I had to put a starter in my 3rd gen, I went with a Denso reman. You can usually find them on Amazon. Denso is the company who originally made the starter (and many other electrical parts) for Toyota, and their reman parts are usually of good quality, in my experience.

I installed an OE Denso starter made in Japan. There the best for the 7.3

On an LS motor, IIRC, it's a rather easy DIY job, if you buy one outside the dealer you may be able to buy one cheaper but get a good quality one, like an AC Delco which is OEM.

The denso on my 02 4Runner started having issues at 255k. Replaced the brushes with new oem and it was good to go afterwards!

Had a denso starter on my integra quit, 263k Good stuff

I would get a Denso or AcDelco reman, no cheap crap since they're a bit of a pain to replace.

I would rather do it once and have it last for 100k+ than to do that repair 2x.

I just bought a new Denso Remanufactured starter from Rock Auto for my Type S. I even broke the thing and they sent me another one before even seeing it.

Honda/Acura OEM starters are very quality parts (manufactured by Denso), and typically when they stop working it's just a ~20 dollar brush kit and some elbow grease to get them up and running again. Definitely better than aftermarket replacement parts.

My wife's '06 Range Rover Sport suddenly wouldn't start, just a loud clack, sounds like coming from the starter solenoid. I've worked my way to the starter, I'm thinking it's a bad connection to starter, solenoid contacts, maybe even the starter.
