Detailed Description

Remy 17749 is engineered as a remanufactured replacement starter for Toyota and Lexus trucks and SUVs that use the Nippondenso OE design. The 1.4 kW rating, permanent magnet offset gear reduction layout, and 9-tooth pinion support consistent engagement and starting performance in the listed applications. Use this starter when replacing a worn unit on a Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Sequoia, or Lexus GX470 with the matching OE configuration.

Part number 17749 is also listed against Toyota service numbers 28100-50040 and 28100-50090, along with related OE starter numbers in the interchange data. For buyers searching by vehicle, this Remy starter for Toyota Tundra and Toyota 4Runner applications provides a focused fitment match rather than a universal replacement.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start condition caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starter engagement
• Grinding or poor pinion engagement during start-up
• Electrical wear in the starter assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, engine configuration, and OE starter match before installation. This starter is specified for 12-volt systems with clockwise rotation and an open nose design, so verify the original unit’s mounting and electrical layout against the listed fitment. Check the pinion tooth count and OE reference numbers when comparing the replacement to the removed starter.
