Owner reviews for alternator

This is a known issue with non OEM and especially bosch alternators, the regulator gives a different signal to the power control unit.

If you were family or my customer I would get the Bosch.

Denso is likely the OE manufacturer, as they provide a lot of MOPAR OE alternators and I know they do for the T&C/Voyager/Pacificas.

2004 Limited with 310000 miles alternator went out so went to local service shop . They were able to get it in and repaired next morning other shops in the area are a week backlog.Parts we're 310.00 (Duralast alt.and Gates belt)

I’m in the Boston burbs, I got the alternator replaced for $350 with parts (remanufactured OEM Denso alternator) included 3 years ago. $450 sounds about right.

I got a reman denso from rock auto for like 120 bucks after core charge return. Don’t know how people feel about em, but reman has usually never done me wrong on other cars I’ve owned.

I've had TYC before. They're not bad

I saw a plain old Delco Remy lock up last week. Seems like it's a ring toss if they fail mechanically like this or simply stop charging.

Wouldn't recommend AutoZone based on my experience. Had a duralast gold fail on me and had to get a replacement one.

Labor time is like .7 on the RX8 alternator if I remember my time at Mazda right… imma say like 900 or so for labor is a rip
