Alternator Denso or OEM Mazda

If you are going to get a new or remanufactured alternator spend the $$$ for a DENSO one.

As some others have said, make sure you only get the remanufactured Denso alternator. No other alternator seems to work.

I replaced the alternator on my 2012 Odyssey the day before yesterday. Rebuilt Denso (I saw several suggestions online to -not- stray from Denso for this vehicle). was\\~$250 at Napa, after I got my core deposit back.

Get a factory Denso if you can but if not the O'Reillys alternator are good quality, we install a few a month and haven't had a comeback.

My alternator just went on my 2008 FJ TT, and I ended up getting a Denso alternator, which works great, but I o nm ly bought it because it was the only one in town.

Get a DENSO brand remanufactured alternator. Parts store house brands are shit.

I recommend DB electrical for a stock, everyday use replacement. I have one going for about 4 years now, and I abuse it heaving as it's on a truck with a plow motor. Want the best in the business? Get a Denso alternator, they will last forever.

The Denso remans are pretty great, as they are also an alternator manufacturer.

On the flip side Reman Denso ALT are great IMHO.

I'm surprised Mazda is rated so poorly, I had a Mazda MPV for 8 years and honestly the only problem I had was the driver's side window gear was worn out, and the alternator.
