Alternator Mitsuboshi or Duralast

I just purchased a 180amp Duralast New for my X about 2 months ago. The Duralast has done me well so far.

Autozone one here. 3 years deep going strong

Replaced the 2017 ACDelco alt with a Duralast Gold 160 Amp. Life time warranty. For 200 bucks at Auto zone. Hope this is the last one I buy.

Got another Duralast/Autozone alternator in and this one seems to be working for now.

Duralast..... if you want to get really good at changing them.

I went through 5 of those Durlast gold alternators (supposedly the best version of autozone's stuff) in 2 years before I had enough and bought a the Denso.

I have a 2007 Chevy suburban and the altenator died so went to Autozone and purchased a new duralast 220.00. This worked for a few days and the battery died again. Checked voltage and only had 9 volts coming from altenator. Took back the altenator for them to bench test and they did not have the proper connections. Gave me another altenator installed worked great for 2 days. This new altenator was also not working and was given a third altenator.

Duralast 11120 (if that's what is on the invoice) doesn't have a lot of great reviews...

It was in fact a Duralast dud! One more example of a “new” alternator being broken out of the box.

I had a new remanufactured duralast alternator as well that I thought was defective but I kept following the power cable off the alternator and found the fusible link.
