Alternator OEM FORD or Denso

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 replaced the alternator on my Windstar last month. Disconnect the wires, remove 3 bolts and lift it out. Takes like 10 minutes or less.

I had a Cougar (same underpinnings) and mine went through alternators like candy. I'm sure a better-designed aftermarket version would probably take care of it though.
