Starter motor OEM Toyota or Duralast
Reviews
I’ve always trusted Autozone with parts and so far haven’t had any issues so I’d recommend duralast. I used two duralast starters before and they’ve worked fine.
Pros: worked fine
I have two Tundras with 2UZs and a 4Runner with a 3UZ swap... None of them have ever needed a starter replacement... I could probably do that job in 45 minutes, which is better than owning any American vehicle.
Pros: job can be done quickly
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
This is exactly what happened to my 2004 corolla. Working all fine fresh battery alternator everything works had no issues. Next morning went to start it, nothing. I was thinking maybe electrical issue or fuse? All fuses and relays were good. Last resort I though could it be the starter? I’ve heard you can tap a starter with a hammer or wrench and if it attempts to start or actually starts, the starter gear is starting to wear out or issues with the starter solenoid. In my case, the starter teeth were all chewed up and it was crusty inside. Original starter after 168k miles. Fixed the problem. Been good ever since.
Pros: fixed the problem
Cons: starter teeth chewed up
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 168000 km
Lotsa fuss over a starter that can last 150k especially an oem one. and although the manifold is heavy comes off super quick. easily a triple time job or more if you're flat rate
Pros: starter can last 150k
Cons: manifold is heavy
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 241401 km
yeah its a pretty common thing, i my self have replaced 4 or 5 of them... do yourself a favor, go to autozone and get the duralast one. they're the same thing as the bosch and have a lifetime warranty. oh and that hasnt been the duralast ive had to replace that much, ive only had to replace it once.
Pros: lifetime warranty, same as Bosch
Cons: replaced multiple times
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
i had a durasuck crap out on me after 4 days, replacement one covered under the "warrenty" did the same thing. get a bosch
Cons: crap out after 4 days
