Alternator Bosch or Denso

Actually you must use a Denso, the OEM manufacturer for the Odyssey.* It can be a rebuilt, but should be one rebuilt by Denso. Apparently the real Denso should be available at NAPA.

I\u2019ve been using Denso remans lately because a lot of the cheap remans are junk and a won\u2019t make it a year.

I am not sure what year your odyssey is, but I know you can go to rockauto.com and find the Denso remanufactured alternator that is the best one to get.

All the others tend to go bad within a year or less.

Ordered a denso reman alt for my 08 tsx last year and it fixed charging system issues I kept having with aftermarket alternators:)

I think the Denso alternator is the ONLY remanufactured alternator I will buy. I've been burned too many times trying other remanufactured brands.

But I typically always buy NEW alternators from RockAuto. Sometimes the bearing is bad out of the box so I have to return it and get another. But when I get a quiet one, they seem to work fine. Nice and steady voltage output around 14.3V

Just buy a reman denso

I bought a reman Denso from NAPA. First one worked but sounded like a rattling box of rocks from the getgo. A week later I swapped it out for another Denso Reman and it has been working fine for 3-4 years now.

I just did mine last week with Denso remanufactured , snapped the bolt and had to replaced the pulley tensioner too ????

Denso only aftermarket will leave you stranded every couple years. I have went through 2 of them. They both gave a very short warnings before they go.

the bosch alternators are junk. I had to warranty mine through fcp 3 times for the exact same bs: loud ass whining noise and over volting immediately after instal. Cheap chinese junk.
