Alternator Denso or GENERAL MOTORS

Update: I ended up sourcing my own parts and sent them a quote from someone else and they matched it. Will have a Denso alternator installed and Costco battery for about $1k.

Manual, buy a reman denso or used or new OEM off the eBay or other seller, harder to rebuild those in my experience.

Have never had to warranty out a denso alternator.

Denso and alternators from Toyota are the only ones we\u2019ll use for this exact reason.

Similar symptoms when my '05 factory alternator died. Get a jump then measure the voltage at the battery. If it's ~14VDC, the alternator is charging. If it is only ~12VDC replace the alternator.

Denso or nothing. You'll be doing this again in about 2 years if you chose poorly.

I will always vote for a 10SI or 12SI GM alternator swap on an L-series engine. Affordable conversion bracket. 1-wire GM alternators are simple, reliable, cheap and readily available online but not easy to find in parts stores. 3 wire GM alternators are are easy enough to wire up and are absolutely everywhere in parts stores if you’re more concerned about parts availability and potential breakdowns on long adventures.

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

The alternator (new OEM Denso, 2nd one, installed about 100kmi ago) on my wife's 2007 Solara v6 3MZFE with 227kmi just died last night. She didn't make it home.

I bought reman denso 2 years ago and it lasted 1 year.
