Owner reviews for alternator

I just had to replace original alternator in my 213k mile 2017.

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.

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

I had an 08 Rio that I bought used in 2011 barely used. It was good for a couple of years but once things started to go it was one thing after another. Alternator twice, the starter.

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

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

And assuming that the alternator is the issue, hope you get an oem good part or a used one, on nissan altimas/maxima Remans are bad.

I have one with 44k miles sitting in the garage right now with a bad TPS and an oil leak. 

The last drive down the street saw me with a dead alternator and blown alternator fuse. Replacing those two resulted in the above surprises afterwards. 

Even replacing the alternator is a half day knuckle busting job assuming you know what you are doing.
