Alternator Denso or Motorcraft

Denso for sure, will last as long as the original, I think 20 years was a good life. The no name and parts store brand ones almost always fail shortly after install

With alternators and starters, only get Denso new or remanufactured if you can. The part store remans are junk.

I had the original alternator go last summer (it was old). Mechanic replaced it, and then went thru 3 batteries over the course of the summer.

The alternator was the culprit. Replaced it with a Denso (Acura OEM) and the problem was solved. Aftermarket alternator was the source of the parasitic draw.

I have a 2005 Pilot and just did this a few months ago.

Denso. They are the OE manufacturer and those things last 20 years. They only offer a reman for your car, but it’s a good product.

I only install Denso alternators in my Japanese cars and never had an issue. Aftermarket alternators have a high failure rate. Denso is solid.

A rebuilt Denso is fine and much cheaper. $200 on RockAuto after core refund. Trust me they are perfect to use. You don't need a brand new one from Honda.

A rebuilt Denso brand alternator will be reliable. Denso box or a Honda box is what I trust, no other brands/savings are worth it.

I had to order a motorcraft alternator which hasn't given me any problems 6 months later.

Been there with a Motorcraft alt. 181K miles. She stopped charging. No batter light on the dash. I laid it to rest and paid my respects.

I went through five alternators last year on my personal car. All five had different separate failures and all failed within a total of four months combined.

Broke down and had a mobile mechanic install a no-name Advanced Auto Parts type branded remanufactured one. Ended up failing in 3 months.\n\nHad my trusted mechanic install a Denso remanufactured and have had no issues since.
