Starter motor Denso or VALEO
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 Denso is the company who originally made the starter (and many other electrical parts) for Toyota, and their reman parts are usually of good quality, in my experience.
Pros: good quality, reliable parts
Vehicle:
Toyota
I have a Valeo and I definitely noticed an increase in starting power and also less battery usage, over the (probably tired) Bosch starter.
Pros: increase in starting power
Cons: less battery usage
I installed an OE Denso starter made in Japan. There the best for the 7.3
Pros: best for the 7.3
The denso on my 02 4Runner started having issues at 255k. Replaced the brushes with new oem and it was good to go afterwards!
Pros: repairable, long lasting
Cons: issues at high mileage
Mileage: 255000 km
Had a denso starter on my integra quit, 263k Good stuff
Pros: good quality, long lasting
Mileage: 263000 km
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.
Pros: new, easy replacement
Cons: broke the thing
Vehicle:
Acura RSX
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.
Pros: very quality parts
Cons: aftermarket parts inferior
Vehicle:
Acura
Denso does make re-manufactured starters for that model but they are a bit pricey.
Cons: bit pricey
Vehicle:
Honda
The Denso part number for the starter is: 280-6006. Do not use a generic one from the parts store. Denso is the only brand I would use for starters.
Pros: only use Denso
Cons: do not use generic
Part number: 280-6006
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.
Cons: loud clack, won't start
Vehicle:
Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Part number: 428000 1921
