Picked up another 100 series this past week. Mechanically sound vehicle, solid mileage, only downfall is the PO installed K&N. This thing sounds ridiculous when accelerating and I’m looking to swap back to factory air cleaner setup. Not looking to pay factory pricing for new, so let me know if...

Any chance you have a factory air intake box/hose available?

I know this is an OLD thread, but a 2003 model Sonora Gold almost 3 years ago. Didn’t love the color, but loved the one owner with 119k miles for 17 grand factor. I don’t think I’ve ever ran it through a car wash, whatever nature provides is the only bath she gets. What once was a very gold...

Adding to an old thread, but my gauge reads empty everyday now here in Texas. We just drove 3k miles or so round trip from Austin to Colorado and explored along the way. From filling up in Santa Fe and onward, zero issues with gauge or light. Sending unit worked perfect as it should. Got...

Cap didn’t fix it, replaced both vapor purge solenoid, and the other purge valve, replaced charcoal canister, still had the code. I think mine was rust on the filler neck. The truck got totaled about 4 days after the charcoal canister swap. I pulled all new parts and sent it to copart

The original starter functioned correctly before I pulled it. The new starter also functions correctly. Truck drives the same as it did before. I have not had the time to get it out and drive it enough to see if it still sparks.

The hole is the correct size. This is how this starter is made to fit in. The whole back-and-forth started because a few think the solenoid should be stuck on top instead of the bottom. If I rotate this starter around to show how they think it should be, then no it does not fit. The same way...

looks like you have an older model rebuild. It may be factory reman, but that’s not the updated version of the gear reduction. All of the updated gear reductions look the way the one sent to me From toyota does. All the ones I’ve seen like what you posted aren’t shown as gear reduction...

Also, there’s different starters out there for 40 series. Here’s one with solenoid on top, but all the gear reduction starters look like mine

Here’s a photo of when the old starter was present, removed, and the turned the “correct” way. If you zoom in on the third photo, you can see the gap that it leaves open in the housing, close to the block.

Appreciate the different perspective. Just went out and double checked, everything is good there.

Yes. There’s pictures on page one of this thread. Here’s the new one installed

Depends on what you call correctly. The new one installs in the same position that the old one did. Without a cone housing, there isn’t an issue. Someone said it was upside down, so once I removed the original, I tried it “right side up” that created a large gap opening at the bell housing...

There is no nose cone on either starter. Toyota reman was sent exactly how mine was pulled, without. I’ve already installed the new one, guess we will see what happens when I drive it this weekend.
