Owner reviews for alternator

It was a brand new denso and no leaks

I did the alternator recently on my 2013. The price of the part was about the same.

Mechanic put in a different kind, and I spent all last summer with dead batteries. After a lot of troubleshooting, and thinking there was a parasitic draw, we found the alternator was bad. Replaced w/ Denso, and no problems since.

I got a Hella 100amp from LRDirect ($270 shipped UK->USA) and did the same extra charging cable mod. Very happy with it.

Well I definitely wouldn't have gone aftermarket but I understand you might have been in a pickle

As far as why it's not working at all, you need very good clean connections including good ground connections everywhere

I replaced my odysseys alternator with a denso and it's been great i also think denso was the oem part anyway.

Go with an OEM unit by Motorcraft even if it's more expensive. Not somethin you want to do twice, learned this lesson with my Explorer. Threw on an aftermarket unit and it doesn't communicate with Ford's smart charging system correctly so it doesn't provide correct voltages as needed, therefore throwing a charging system warning constantly.

The alternator went out on it, and I had to replace it four times due to faulty over the counter rebuilt Bosch parts.

I would like to add we had to replace my sisters 2016 Honda civic alternator as well and the car rejected the Part we bought. All the lights on the dashboard were on like a Christmas tree.

I purchased a Duralast 115A Alternator 14921 (remanufactured) which, once we moved the pulley and fan from old to new, it mounted up without a hitch. Once the battery was charged I connected everything up and she started right up. However, the voltmeter was hanging around 12V so we put a multimeter on the battery and only saw 12V+/-.
