Starter motor Denso or Bosch

Get the starter that fits a diesel/VR6 engines. No bushing required. Lots of power and spins the engine almost to idle speed.

I think most people don't have issues with hot starts, and the bosch rebuilds are pretty decent.

I've done my starter once, this was about 12 years ago. I did it with a remanufactured Bosch unit. I haven't heard anything about heat affecting the starters.

I have replaced the Starter Motor/Solenoid with a reman Denso unit, the Starter Relay, and the Throttle Position Sensor, and it seems to have basically solved most of the issues I’ve been having.

The key is to replace with an OEM Toyota or a Denso (the brand Toyota uses) and not an AutoZone special.

Its a pretty simple swap. Everything can be done from above no need to jack the car up, takes maybe 30 minutes to swap.

Get a bosch starter from amazon, any starter you get from a parts store is going to be shit quality. Bosch, or one direct from gm are the only good ones.

a bit(a lot actually) of internet research got me a denso clone(looks like a hi torq) meant for a kubota tractor.

Again this is a brand new starter actually it's a rebuilt starter which is Bosch OEM. When I did remove the old starter and put in this new rebuilt Bosch OEM starter the car started right up. The next day I went out to start it and all I got was one loud "CLICK"!

i bought a britpart 2,25 starter as it was oem. The starter was branded Bosch but it lasted a week and it drew 600A and turned over slow.
