Alternator OEM Honda or Denso

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.

Denso is the OE for Land Rover.

Denso for sure, will last as long as the original, I think 20 years was a good life. The no name and parts store brand ones almost always fail shortly after install

With alternators and starters, only get Denso new or remanufactured if you can. The part store remans are junk.

I had the original alternator go last summer (it was old). Mechanic replaced it, and then went thru 3 batteries over the course of the summer.

The alternator was the culprit. Replaced it with a Denso (Acura OEM) and the problem was solved. Aftermarket alternator was the source of the parasitic draw.

I have a 2005 Pilot and just did this a few months ago.

Denso. They are the OE manufacturer and those things last 20 years. They only offer a reman for your car, but it’s a good product.

I only install Denso alternators in my Japanese cars and never had an issue. Aftermarket alternators have a high failure rate. Denso is solid.

My 09 just ate its oem alternator also, at 225k miles, but its an EX without VCM. There was some oil in the area but I guess it can’t be from the spool valve listed in the TSB.

I went through five alternators last year on my personal car. All five had different separate failures and all failed within a total of four months combined.

Broke down and had a mobile mechanic install a no-name Advanced Auto Parts type branded remanufactured one. Ended up failing in 3 months.\n\nHad my trusted mechanic install a Denso remanufactured and have had no issues since.
