Alternator Denso or Duralast

I replaced the alternator on my 2012 Odyssey the day before yesterday. Rebuilt Denso (I saw several suggestions online to -not- stray from Denso for this vehicle). was\\~$250 at Napa, after I got my core deposit back.

Get a factory Denso if you can but if not the O'Reillys alternator are good quality, we install a few a month and haven't had a comeback.

My alternator just went on my 2008 FJ TT, and I ended up getting a Denso alternator, which works great, but I o nm ly bought it because it was the only one in town.

Get a DENSO brand remanufactured alternator. Parts store house brands are shit.

I recommend DB electrical for a stock, everyday use replacement. I have one going for about 4 years now, and I abuse it heaving as it's on a truck with a plow motor. Want the best in the business? Get a Denso alternator, they will last forever.

The Denso remans are pretty great, as they are also an alternator manufacturer.

On the flip side Reman Denso ALT are great IMHO.

Got another Duralast/Autozone alternator in and this one seems to be working for now.

And while I dont recall Hyundai being one of them, there are certain make/models that need an OEM alternator or they just wont work right (i.e Duralast Alternator in a BMW X5=bad idea)

2 weeks ago, my 120amp Bosch crapped out on my '95 GLX. Decided the Duralast route wasn't a bad direction, being it's actually an OEM Bosch alternator, that Duralast performs the remanufacture on, with their own regulator, brushes, and bearings. It was also stated that they had numerous testing fazes performed after the rebuild. I had a 25% off coupon, and $40 in Autozone credit points. Walked out with the alternator for around $90, being the 120amp alternators are more expensive. Took care of the install, started it, power held, and she ran beautiful. Then a few minutes later, I started to hear a bearing scream. Was worried it was the alternator, as that was the only factor that changed, aside from disengaging the tensionar pulley and removing the serpentine belt during the alternator installation. 2 days later, cars sitting there warming up, hear the RPM's start to change, the gauge cluster display starts to dim, the door chime weakens out, and the car dies. Wouldn't you know, that Duralast alternator **** the bed with less than 10 miles on the rebuild.
