Alternator Denso or OEM Nissan

I have yet to replace an alternator, but every recommendation I have seen is for Denso.

Go with a quality remanufactured unit like a Denso.

I bought one online to pick up at store and when I went to open the box something was scraping internally. No shipping damage or box damage. I bought a Denso for a different car (Toyota's OE) and I've had no issues with it. The only problem is it only carries a 1yr warranty.

Expect to shell out more $ for a Denso though if that's the route you go.

Z1 Offroad has an OEM Nissan remanufactured for a good price, that's I what I went with.

A reman Denso is about $100 more than other brands. But main thing is the labor cost. It is pretty hard to get to the Alternator for Odyssey. Saving some money with a cheaper brand has a greater risk to incur the labor cost again.

Solved both of those issues with a reman Denso. Just spend the money. One good alternator is cheaper than two crappy ones.

Denso no doubt. It's the only brand I'll buy for an alternator or starter.

Parts store house brand parts are notoriously poor quality when it comes to electronic parts such as sensors, starters, alternators, etc.

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.
