Detailed Product Overview

Denso part number 280-0150 is built from the brand’s OE starter experience and remanufacturing process. Each unit is bench-tested after remanufacture, with critical electrical components inspected and replaced as needed to restore factory-original performance characteristics. This makes it a practical choice for Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, and Toyota T100 starting-system repairs where reliable engagement and repeatable cranking matter.

This part cross-references Bosch SR3245X and ACDelco 3361640 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Engine cranks slowly or inconsistently
• Starter clicks but does not engage
• No-crank condition with a charged battery
• Intermittent starting after heat soak or cold starts
• Worn starter brushes, bearings, or electrical contacts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, engine configuration, and starter application before installation. This starter is listed for 1995-1998 Toyota T100, 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma, and 2001-2004 Toyota Tundra, with notes that vary by market and cold-spec configuration. Confirm the original unit’s rotation, voltage, and mounting style match the replacement before bolting it in.

For best results, inspect battery condition, cable ends, grounds, and charging-system output during starter replacement. A weak battery or high-resistance connection can mimic starter failure and reduce cranking performance.

Quality Assurance

Denso remanufactured starters are processed through a rigorous test-and-replacement routine, including high-voltage testing of armatures and field coils, commutator refinishing, replacement of terminals and fasteners with copper components, and final bench testing. The remanufactured design also supports material reuse and reduced waste while maintaining OE-style performance standards.
