@@tuckfexas1420 excellent work!

[@ελευθερία-ε2ο]

I remember when it was just two bolts and harness and boom. Done! No thank you

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

The good old days...

[@yzfffooo]

Nice! Do more of these Tundra service videos.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@yzfffooo will do 👍

Awesome Job. That's A Lot of Work To Change A Starter Motor But Less Time Then The First Generation Under The Intake . I Always Told Customers They Build Vehicles To SELL Not Service Or Repair. I Wonder What The Flat Rate Time Is For This Job ? 2 Hrs. ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@stephenzies8867 yeah, those first Gen 4.7 L engine starters are a pain! I don’t remember what the flat rate is on this one, probably around 3-4 hours I’d guess.

[@TheAquazule]

I got one I’m going to do tomorrow the Time is 5.6 hours of labor flat rate

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@TheAquazule that’s pretty good, can definitely beat that time if nothing is seized too badly.

[@asid731]

Why are some people able to do it without removing the exhaust manifold?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

In this video, I show how to do it as per the repair manual. There may be some shortcuts available, depending on your skill level and the tools you have access to.

[@asid731]

Ok thanks

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@asid731 no problem

[@stevepiacenza2426]

I have had the horror of doing this same job,everyone does it different .no matter how you do it,it's a nightmare, very time consuming, horrible engineering

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@stevepiacenza2426 it can definitely be a pain…
