1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I don't have any of it on hand right now. Starter has been rock solid up to this point. I probably need to pull it and take a look tho, make sure it's the OEM or an OEM at least. I have some of the history from the PO but there was nothing about a starter replacement which is why I think it's the original still.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if it is, hopefully it's the OG.
Friggin blows my mind that these Denso starters can go a million miles needing only contacts and plungers every couple hundred thousand miles. There's just little else out there that can last like this stuff does.
Either way, I should've grabbed the mic and taken some measurements of the contacts thickness when I did mine. Then we'd have an actual measurement and one could even order generic contacts online for a couple bucks. Next time I need to pull it I will get them

 

Looking up the plunger and contacts right now. Part numbers I've found for the 3.4L starter:

Plunger Magnet Switch
Part Number: 28235-55050

This is listed as the motor side terminal. Yes, they spelled "Service" incorrectly @BartMaster1234
Kit Repair Seavice
Part Number: 28226-74070

These are the battery terminal side. Not sure what the difference is on these 2 so don't know which one I need or if they are essentially the same.
Starter Kit
Part Number: 28226-16130

Or

Kit Repair Service
Part Number: 28226-22050

 

I just have a thing for those bikes

Especially BMW dual sport

 

Suppose I should probably replace the starter brushes while I'm in there. The 4runner starter brushes looked like they weren't replaceable without soldering or special tools if I recall, which is why I just replaced the whole starter. Is that the case with the Taco starter too?

That's a good price for a 2018 with the factory mods like that. I have all the same shit on my 2015.

 

I took a test drive for a modded Impreza wrx. Got it to 70 with the guy. and during the whole drive i said "something doesn't sound right man, I'm hearing a metal rasp" he says "yea it does that, no worries" needless to say the turbo let go i turned it off and he had a very confused look on him. Needless to say I'm sticking clear of Subarus.

 

Cute.

 

Typical? Maybe? Idk I'm at a Toyota dealership where i know shit is built right. Sadly it's not yours

 

We took this bad boy in yesterday; gave them $70k

 

Any suggestions on which one to get?

 

They wanted out of that thing pretty quickly huh? Can't be a year old yet? Just for full context, what did they buy and what was purchase price?

Even though folks get the 3 yr warranty when buying Rover, most owners still get too frustrated that their vehicle is needing warranty work as often as they do.

 

Hold up I'll take a peek right now

 

Was actually going to tag you with that SUV.

They're repeat customers of ours, a couple that are always happy to see me and talk cars.

It's an '18 and it was hardly driven as they have a ranch; traded in for a JL Rubicon.

The husband has 2 FJ45's, and is on the lookout for an old Scout to restore.

One of his FJ's is all upfitted with an exocage, locked, etc. The other is all stock as he was showing me pics.

They figured the new Jeep will be much more comfortable since only his kids are into rock crawling and all that stuff; they go to King of the Hammers and other off road events with their tricked out toys.

Why does it look like i collapsed the suspension?

 

Neither of those. I've never done or needed to do brushes or even bearings on any of the Densos I've rebuilt. I mean you can, but I'd just leave those parts as they came from factory. I'm not sure if there is a Toyota specific part numbered kit for the parts either. Quick search on Amazon got me this:

$18 Victory Lap ND-36SOL Solenoid Repair Kit

There may be others, this was simply the first one I found that contained the correct contacts. Looks to come with additional contacts but you won't need them on that 3.4 starter.
