The Denso reman starter line focuses on OE-style fit, bench-tested output, and consistent starting performance in everyday driving conditions.

Key Features

• 12.0-volt starter with clockwise rotation
• 1.4 power rating for the listed Toyota applications
• Remanufactured Denso OE family starter
• High-voltage tested armature and field coils
• Refinished commutators with performance validation
• Premium copper terminals for stable electrical current
• New bearings, brushes, and seals
• Bench-tested for factory-original performance

Detailed Description

Denso reman starters are built from the company’s OE electrical component experience and restored through a controlled remanufacturing process. For this part number, 280-0319, critical wear items are replaced and key electrical components are tested to help maintain reliable starter output. The result is a starter designed for the demands of Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tundra, and Toyota Sequoia starting systems that call for a 1.4 kW clockwise unit.

This part cross-references Toyota (e.g., 28100-50090) for the same application. If you are replacing a worn starter on a 2005-2009 Toyota 4Runner, 2005-2008 Toyota Tundra, 2001-2004 Toyota Tundra, 2009 Toyota Tundra, 2003-2004 Toyota 4Runner, or 2001 Toyota Sequoia, Denso 280-0319 provides an OE-style remanufactured option.

What It Helps Solve

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter wear
• Intermittent starting from worn brushes or terminals
• Voltage loss through aged starter electrical components
• Starter noise related to internal wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s starter specification before installation, including 12-volt system voltage, 1.4 kW rating, and clockwise rotation. Confirm the exact year, model, and notes against the fitment list, especially for 4Runner and Tundra applications with and without cold-spec requirements. Inspect battery condition, cable integrity, and charging-system output before replacing the starter to avoid repeat starting issues.
