    You obviously don't understand the science behind the solenoid and what causes the contacts to get burned / worn.

    It isn't the mileage it is the start cycles. I do start and stop the engine quite often... The point is you wouldn't be done with it, even with a new starter you would have the same issue given time.

    40k miles, and it has some wear and a bit of corrosion. Now just waiting on USPS to deliver the new pieces.

    Well, Nations sent the mirror opposite of the contacts I needed. Good news is, the plunger was so oversized, that it makes contact with the unworn part of the old contacts, so Im back running again!

    Yeah, fired off an email to them, since it was after business hours. Figured, if they swap the pieces out, Ill save them for next time, because I dont want to pull the starter again.

    I wanted to post the problem with my starting problems. I replaced the solenoid parts and now the Tacoma starts great.
