2006 GX470 starter rebuild kit. (1 Viewer)

[helikiwi]

Hey guys,

I’m replacing the starter contacts in my starter (28100-50101). I ordered the victory lap rebuild kit off amazon, but they don’t fit.

I have tried searching for Toyota OEM parts to rebuild, but I am having a hard time finding part numbers.

Does anyone know the Toyota part numbers for the plunger, contacts and perhaps the spring too?

I don't think that gen starter is rebuild-able.

Ok, makes sense. Just ordered a new Reman starter from local Toyota dealer. Thank you!

Did your starter give you early symptoms before failing? E.g. slow crank? or did it all of a sudden die?

Whenever I have issues with the Denso starters it starts out as one day you turn the key and nothing happens, then a second or two later it starts. Then normal and out of the blue the same thing. After a while you turn the key and nothing happens and it takes a few turns before the starter cranks. Then after some time it never cranks and you have to rebuild/replace.

ahh i see i see. I remember my GS400's starter dying once. It did slow cranks when trying to start the motor... the replacement took some work however it didint have a SAIS.. Hopefully OP takes some good pics of the install

 

[vwynn]

oh dear lord the SAIS needs to come out...

I ended up replacing the starter, because I had a rat get in and chew through the knock sensors. So I figured, while the intake manifold was off, I better change the starter.

dont forget the collant bridge gasket too since they will eventually leak like mine did.

I did the 2 gaskets on the rear eng coolant bypass pipe, which I think is the bridge you're referring to, the o-ring on the water pipe, and new intake manifold gaskets. This new starter sounds way stronger than the original. Starts like a champ!

The starters in our UZ motors are very much rebuildable.
Plenty of aftermarket Denso starter rebuild kits available...
Lexus Part numbers:
28226-50080 Motor Terminal contact
28226-50070 Battery Terminal contact
28235-54380 Plunger with new contact ring

But those work up to a certain year production. Maybe up until 2004 or 2005. The starter 28100-50101 doesn't have those parts available.

Damn, wish I could have had these before lol. Thank you though!

Nevermind ha

What makes you say that?

It is the same starter for all Toyota/ Lexus 2UZFE with 2.0kw starter; UZJ120 from 2004- 2009

All I know is when I enter my data for that part it says not compatible. Also only compatible for up to certain year Toyota as well.

 

[FrankTorres]

There might be slight variations between starters over the years, but they are all rebuildable, and dollars to donuts they are interchangeable.
It is just a matter of sourcing the parts, they are available...

Starter Contacts for 2003-2007

 

[nuron]

If this helps, I recently rebuilt the starter on my 2008 4Runner with:

2822650070 - contacts
2822650080 - contacts
2823554380 - plunger

and everything fit in just fine, so I think there is truth to what FrankTorres said.

A Denso reman starter is $91 on Rock Auto (plus core charge). Nothing wrong with rebuilding one, but with such a low cost for a OEM remain I went the reman route when mine stopped working.

Any chance you know the part numbers?
