Reviews of Denso alternator

I have a 2005 XLS and upgraded to the 130a one, no issues at all. I bought a Denso (oem) one on rockauto for $170, sent my old one and got $40 back. The Toyota one (also denso) was like $450. The 130a was actually cheaper than the 100a too. Did it myself in about 3 hours

Horrible mistake with the aftermarket alternator. You likely will need to redo the job really soon.

I’ve used denso remans and not had issues

Please please please, get a remanned or new Denso. Do not buy anything else. You WILL regret it.

Unless you love electrical quirks and replacing alternators, get a Denso.

As someone pointed out, don't expect the 150 dollar alternator to last that long. I threw on my 4runner a few months back because that's all that was in stock locally and I'm gonna have to replace it again, it's already whining. I'd definitely spend $350 or whatever it is on a denso unit

I ordered a new (reman) denso alternator from RockAuto and also got a replacement alternator belt too. I\u2019m almost done with the job (took out the old alternator, mounted the new one) and it\u2019s been surprisingly easy, just a matter loosening 3-5 bolts and fiddling with a belt.

For the alternator I would only go with a reman denso personally

Denso or straight from a Honda Dealership (Denso). Today's aftermarket and remanufactured parts often leave quite a bit to be desired. You may pay a little more, but legit Honda parts won't let you down like the others.

And try and go with the Denso. Some of those are Chinese sweatshop garbage.

I replace just as many aftermarket alternators that are 'new', as I do 10+ year old OEM. Aftermarket alternators, unless denso's, fail often.
