Go for a Denso alternator if they have it.

Might be a long shot but see if there is a Starter/Alternator repair shop nearby. They will be able to disassemble and fix what is wrong using much higher quality parts that what auto parts stores use.
My ‘09 highlander needed one about a year ago around 150k and my local shop put in a reman Denso for way less than a new Denso. Good warranty on it, too.
I believe the OEM for the alternator is Denso. If you can get one of those it’ll probably go another 230k
Get a Denso reman from RockAuto. It is the same as OEM Denso and is <$200 with core return.
Denso if you can find it. It will last another 25 years
Fix that, then replace with a reman Denso alternator from RockAuto.
What sort of alternator are you installing, because I've had two Chinese alternators fail but a genuine denso from pull a part has survived a good thrashing
Currently just swapped to Denso's IK20 like 2 months ago. They run pretty good. But now its mid summer over here and the car runs a little bit underpowered at those high temps.
Skip them, they are junk and a waste of money.
Get a good single platinum plug like the Denso 4511.
