Alternator OEM Honda or AC DELCO

Remy and AC Delco are good. I have never had any issues with WAI parts and I had not had any real issues with BBB until very recently.

I had the AC Delco alternator (an OEM part) in my 1994 Saturn SL2 rebuilt in 2015 by Alternator & Starter Co. At the time, no new OEM or aftermarket alternators were available for a Saturn that old, and the guru who advised me on Saturn repairs told me I would have better luck with a local rebuild rather than a commercially remanufactured replacement.

Only use Honda oem denso alternator. Yes they are expensive but you will be replacing it again if you use an off brand. Been there, done that.

I'm showing a new acdelco 135amp alternator for roughly $163 plus shipping through rockauto.

Acdelco is oem for GM. They make high-quality parts, never been disappointed by one.

ACDelco makes a brand new alternator for $95. They were the OEM for GM.

I went with RockAuto as well, but went with the AC Delco Gold Reman that was wound to have 135 Amp output instead of the OEM standard (~110 I think) I want to say it was around ~$170 with a $45 core deposit. AC Delco is a solid name in parts, and I believe was reman'd in Mexico.

Just had my 2008 V6 Accord written off after getting rear ended. It had plenty of power and was relaxing to drive, but was a bit soft when it got twisty - but only Rimutaka Hill/Pahiatua track level twisty, and that was coming from a Legacy GTB.

The equipment level is pretty basic but after 190k I'd only had to replace the power steering pump and alternator, and the only interior wear was on the centre console lid.

Honestly, even the AC Delco quality is questionable.

I got an ACDelco reman alternator from RockAuto, but it has a grinding feeling and bearing noise when I spin the shaft by hand. I'm not putting that "reman" alternator in the car only to have it fail a few weeks from now.

I've had bad luck with aftermarket alternators. Whether I put them on due to customer request, due to price difference or had them come in with issues. Sometimes not charging while still new, or relatively new. Sometimes the charging light on even though it's charging properly.
