Owner reviews for alternator

My local NAPA had [Denso remanufactured alternators in stock](https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/DEN2100511), vs the standard parts store brands everyone else carries. They're about $200+core, so a bit more expensive, but cheaper than Honda

My alternator went and I never had any lights, just weird electrical gremlins and batteries dying. Replaced it myself, took maybe 2 hours and the part was like $150 after the core return

Got a Denso Reman, and my mechanic installed it and kept the car for a week to test. So far so good.

He commented that before the alternator replacement, volts would go low when the engine was warm. Now they're pretty stable.

As far as replacements I've had good luck with Rock Auto Sticking to the better brands like Motorcraft, AC Delco, Remy, and Bosch.

These cars have a lot of electronics. A cheap alternator might not be able to handle the load as well. I sell parts for a living and definitely recommend going with a denso instead.

Bosch makes (made) excellent rebuilt alternators and I’d check them out.

Radiator let go about 12 months ago, and suspension is well overdue for new bushings. Also recently had to replace an alternator.

IMO duralast doesn\u2019t last no where near as long as a good quality Bosch/Denso alternator.

My worst breakdown? A 2003 Toyota Tundra I had died on the highway from a bad alternator and I was able to pull over to the shoulder.

I was tired leaving work and my alternator died.
