500 amps is really up there. If you go aftermarket. I would use the Napa one. I personally use the rock auto remfg densos in the past. Now I am going to rebuild a few alts and starters with oem parts to see how I fair up. Thanks for the update.

Thankfully my daughter has nimble joints and is able to deal with the dipstick bolt hoto: But, she really HATES that bolt, LOL!! She's at her mom's house this week but we might be able to get to it this weekend if she prioritizes it. She has a busy social life, apparently.

Problem fixed

Time to close the loop on this issue. Daughter came over yesterday and we swapped out the NAPA brand new starter I bought last week on our trip.

I now have a 1.8kw starter and it's a Nippondenso, according to the spec sheet that came with it. Check out the "current max -= 700 amps" Wow!!!

Anyway, the pics and vid will explain everything. Current draw during starting was around 160 amps.

Here's the Denso spec sheet from NAPA.

So is the Carquest starter considered to be 1.4kw? Is it meant for a 4 cyl engine due to the fact that it has a hard time turning over the 6 cyl engine?

I can put it up for sale in case someone with a 4 cyl can use it.

Judging by the size in the photo you posted it's most likely a 1.4kw starter. I'm not sure what the 4 cylinders use, but most manual V6's came stock with the 1.4kw starter. Since that starter was the issue then I personally wouldn't sell it to anyone unless I told them it needed a rebuild. Just my $0.02

Yesterday I was at the junk yard and confirmed my suspicion. This manual 4runner did in fact have this smaller starter as shown by the amount of space behind the motor. The 1.8kw is a PITA to maneuver in that tiny space due to the longer motor.

I'll see if someone wants it as a core for when they buy a reman unit and need to return theirs for a core.
