Alternator Denso or OEM Mazda

My 2012 EX-L received a Denso at 80k miles and that was 2 yrs ago.

Denso only for me, in a Denso box.

New Alternator for $647 (+shipping)

I like the [Denso alt for a Suzuki](https://adventuretaco.com/go/denso-210-0461-105a-remanufactured-alternator/), which is plug-and-play and does 105A. That's a \~50% increase over stock and quite a bit less expensive than the TAE.

I got toyota denso brand from rockauto site for $255 with shipping included

Denso reman all the way. You get what you pay for here.

The family line just means it was made by Denso originally. Denso reman in a Denso or Honda box only for me.

Defective alternator. Get it exchanged under warranty. Unfortunately, lots of remanufactured alternators from parts stores don't perform up to spec. It would best to get a new or remanufactured from Hyundai or a reliable brand such as Denso.

After buying 4 reman "Dura-CRAP" alternators in less than 3 months... I cut the already bad plug pigtail off a Camry in the JY and bought it and the Denzo Alternator it had, drove the car like that for 2 more years before I parked it.

Don't buy a Remanufactured They Always Whine And Won't work the first Time Buy Them New From Denso
