Alternator Bosch or Denso

DENSO remanufactured is solid.

Get Denso 2104148 that’s what I recently got. Works great!

Buy the Bosch it's a direct OEM REPLACEMENT alternator it's probably still going to need programmed via vcds to allow the computer to adapt to the voltage change of the new alternator

I put a remanufactured Autozone on mine in a pinch because that’s all the was available. Never trusted it. Replaced it about a year later with the Denso remanufactured for peace of mind.… when I took the autozone one off the bearing was squeaking pretty bad. Denso has given me zero problems, going on about 4 years.

In your case I would say just buy a new replacement alt from a name brand like Delco Remy or Bosch, none of this parts store rebuilt junk, you'll just be doing the job over again soon.

Bosch, Valeo, or Denso would be my top choices. Don't get a Chinese one. Shit won't last at all.

The next best thing for Honda is DENSO as they are the actual OEM supplier. 90% chance ur old alternator says DENSO on the side (as long as it's the original).

I replaced the battery, and upgraded to an AGM battery while I was at it. The problem still wasn’t solved though.

Could just be a crappy parts store alternator. I use Denso only for replacement.

Denso is usually one of the top ones, if they've tanked in quality I shudder to think how bad oem GM, and mopar/stellantis has gotten. I still have nightmares from absolute shit quality of GM parts, alternators and starters barely lasted over a year.
