I just wanted to thank this site and 4Crawler for the info on fixing the starter contact issue. I had the click symptoms, ordered the parts and had it back together in no time. Starts like a champ now!


It's the money you save by using Yotatech.

 

Alot cheaper than a new starter eh? Good job. Have fun getting the starter out?

 

sweet, yeah i also used both sites to help me narrow down to my starter contacts problem.

 

Gotta love Toyota starters!!

 

I had more fun putting it back in. That job is best done with a friend.

 

when my starter went a yr or 2 ago, i took it apart and it looked like my contacts were soldered in there. if i hadnt needed my truck running that day i wouldve loved to just replace the contacts, but ended up gettign a toyota reman.

 

what would the friend do? there wasn't enough room in there for two really. going in was easy for me, gettting it out wasn't.

 

hah, On my taco it was a boitch getting the starter out, but putting it back in wasnt bad since I could see the shape of it and manuver it around the brake lines...

 

I'm guessing one under the truck and one at the wheel well. Shove it up to the wheel well and have someone grab it (I just perched it from underneath and came around myownself).

 

Ahh, The reach around, Works well....

 

Saw your new truck today.

 

lol. ^

I had to replace the starter in the middle of Chicago, missed school the next day too. It took forever to get it out, I went to a hotel and prnted out some stuff from 4Crawler/Yotatech. Now it takes less than 30 minutes to pull it and put it back in. Dunno why.

 

Thats just cuz your the BOMB, Hab!!!!

 

How'd you know I had chili?
