Alternator Denso or Duralast

I replaced the my 2010's alternator with a reman denso from RockAuto. Did it myself. Pretty straightforward. I would say a reman denso is better than a new non denso. Some cheap alternators are very unreliable. I've had no issues thus far. It's been about 4 months.

Denso is reputable and quality I doubt you'd run into any issues

I got a denso alternator at Napa for $375-ish. I was a happy pappy

It was a brand new denso and no leaks

I did the alternator recently on my 2013. The price of the part was about the same.

Mechanic put in a different kind, and I spent all last summer with dead batteries. After a lot of troubleshooting, and thinking there was a parasitic draw, we found the alternator was bad. Replaced w/ Denso, and no problems since.

I replaced my odysseys alternator with a denso and it's been great i also think denso was the oem part anyway.

The symptoms sound like a bad alternator, the car can usually run off the alternator's output alone even with a bad battery. What brand of alternator did you get?

I went through 3 duralast nators on my wife's exploder before I got one that lasted more than 6mos. Aftermarket everything has mostly gone to shit.

I have experience with both shitty Autozone Duralast alternators and I would not purchase them.

I have shadow codes for my water pump because of it, and my voltage is not high enough at idle, and never surpasses 13.5ish volts. It whines loudly, and it doesn't make the same power as my last alternator contrary to the ratings.
