vs
Starter motor OEM Toyota or OEM FORD
Reviews
Could be worse, could be that Toyota 5.7L V8 that puts the starter in the middle of the "V". Replacement means removing the inlet manifold. The good part is, it's a Toyota--you'll likely only need to do it once in half a million miles and maybe not even that.
Pros: likely only need once
Cons: removing the inlet manifold
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 804672 km
My sister-in-law who was staying with us for a short period of time had problems with her Toyota pickup truck wouldn't start, I went out with a hammer laying down and hit the starter and it fired right up. She thought I was a magician.
Pros: hit starter, fired up
Vehicle:
Toyota
Only issues I’ve had have been starter motor went, did water pump and timing belt when the pump went. Had the injector seal leak so got injectors done. Other than that it’s been a solid car.
Pros: solid car
Cons: injector seal leak
Vehicle:
Toyota Hilux
I had an 09 Cam which was used as a delivery vehicle for the first few years of its life, and had to replace the starter... used a Toyota reman, no issues for the next 12 years and 130k km.
Pros: no issues for years
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Mileage: 130000 km
I was having the intermittent no start on my 2018 5.0 F150. I’m at roughly 42K miles. Swapped battery, still had the issue. Swapped starter, now starting and remote start back to normal. I feel like a starter should last more than 40K.
Pros: starting back to normal
Cons: starter lasted 40K miles
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 67592 km
Bro I had to pull a starter off an old F-250 for a friend. Only way to get anything on the top bolt was with 3 and a half feet of extensions from behind the cab.
Cons: hard to reach top bolt
Vehicle:
Ford
Those starters fucking suck they get so much corrosion around those terminals when you go to break the nut lose it'll snap the plastic right off its a shitty design
Cons: suck, corrosion, plastic snaps, shitty design
Vehicle:

Cons: made of pot metal, super cheap
Vehicle:

Mileage: 35000 km

Cons: stud breaks every time
Vehicle:
