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

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

Toyota
