4runner to Pickup starter Compatibility
Hello,
I have a 1990 Toyota pickup (3.0 liter manual transmission 4x4) and I need to replace the starter. I have found one off a 1987 4runner (manual). I'm not sure if this will be interchangeable with my truck? I figure worse case scenario I could possibly use the contacts if the $20 starter doesn't work. Any ideas? Thank you for the help.

Now there's a 1988 4runner 3.0 V6 or a T100 starter that's available as well. Shouldn't this work since they're the same engine size?

If both engines are 3vze the starter will bolt up. However, the electrical connections (pigtails) may be different. The electroincs on an 88 3vze did not mate to my 94 wiring harness (3vze). I am not sure which year they changed the connections.

RE.: Part numbers at Autozone: Is it possible that there would be a starter motor with a different part # that bolts up but is more powerful?
I have a 94 Pickup originally v6 5sp but someone put a Mercedes diesel in it and I need a stronger starter in cold weather. Any Ideas?

The kit that was used uses the Toyota transmission so the Merc starter won't work
#12
The Merc starter will not work mechanically with the Mercedes engine that it mounts and bolts on to, OR
The merc started will not work electrically with the wiring?
A problem well-stated is almost solved.

Hoping u can figure it out. If electrical is the problem, pls share starting schematic of your old starter, and post specs and clear and annotated picture of new starter and we'll help u.
