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 went with Denso Reman for my choice. 2 years so far and no issue.
My auto shop is replacing the alternator on my 2013 Sienna for $657 with a DENSO part which is the only brand you should be using IMO.
Put the desno in fixed all my problems
Just bought one better denso at the auto parts store last year, was a 20min install, btw need to remove the rf tire and plastic to easily access as well as the bottom plates. Imo nice solid car and needs a decent part.
I did the Alternator on my ES350 (same 2GRFE engine) and it sucked. It was my first major repair project and took almost all day for me.
I've gone through 3 Nissan Value Advantage Alternators (through the Infiniti dealership - warranty) for my Q. All Infiniti offers for my year (2015) are Remanufactured Alternators. I'm tired of Remans.
I bought reman denso 2 years ago and it lasted 1 year.
