    So I had my starter replaced after having to bang on it with a hammer in order to get my truck to start.. That was last week and today I had to do it again!.. The shop that works on my truck is definitely getting some crap parts from their supplier.. I won't be buying any parts from them again..

    So what starters are you guys using?.. LC Engineering, Toyota or something else?.. I wonder If I should just start going to the Toyota dealer like the old days. I may pay more but my truck always felt nice as I drove away..

    Truck is an '86 manual..

    Every starter I've used from napa and autozone and stuff seemed to barely rub in my flywheel and make a horrible noise. I would rather hit the junkyard and get oem honestly

    @cvcgolf could possibly be a loose connection to the starter.That clip.Double check that one.

    I have a post on the starter problem/fix!
    It seems Toyota trucks have a start problem ,clicks ,no start!
    It is a problem between the low voltage wire from the ignition switch & the starter!!
    It is not the starter!!!!:cool:
