Alternator Denso or GENERAL MOTORS

Alternators do like to go out on ISs. Burning smell and whining is the telltale signs of it going out.

Denso. Expensive but, my last one lasted 25 years lol.

DENSO remanufactured is solid.

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

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.

The OEM alternator is only 55 amps and costs nearly $400, which is stupid expensive and wholly inadequate for off-road lighting, audio amplifiers, and other additional accessories so I decided to go with the CS130D GM alternator, purchased for under $100 new (no core charge) and has a 130 amp capacity.

I'm getting 14.8v from the upgraded alternator at 700rpm and maintaining 14.2v when every possible accessory and light is turned on at idle.

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).

Just make sure to buy either new OEM, used OEM, or a good rebuild like Denso. Parts store ones have a bad record of either being bad directly out of the box, or crapping out in short order.

Denso. Always Denso. Every other aftermarket alternator I've ever seen is absolute garbage.

I recently removed the old Alternator (Valeo OEM) in my 2011 Hyundai Accent and went to replace it with a new Denso alternator and it won\u2019t fit into the bracket above the oil filter. After measuring the mounting spacing of both I found that the new one is 2\u201d wide and old one is 2 1/8\u201d.
