Alternator Denso or Duralast

I have yet to replace an alternator, but every recommendation I have seen is for Denso.

Go with a quality remanufactured unit like a Denso.

I bought one online to pick up at store and when I went to open the box something was scraping internally. No shipping damage or box damage. I bought a Denso for a different car (Toyota's OE) and I've had no issues with it. The only problem is it only carries a 1yr warranty.

Expect to shell out more $ for a Denso though if that's the route you go.

A reman Denso is about $100 more than other brands. But main thing is the labor cost. It is pretty hard to get to the Alternator for Odyssey. Saving some money with a cheaper brand has a greater risk to incur the labor cost again.

Solved both of those issues with a reman Denso. Just spend the money. One good alternator is cheaper than two crappy ones.

Denso no doubt. It's the only brand I'll buy for an alternator or starter.

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

We have a lady with an infinity that comes in once a year to get her duralast alternator replaced.

When my alternator went out I got an aftermarket that failed within the week. Afterwards I was told that the element alternator is in a spot that gets more heat than a normal car so it needs a higher temp solder. I got the denso oem after and it’s still good after 5 years
