Alternator OEM Honda or Motorcraft

the oem has been good for 5 years now

I have a 2001 Honda ST1100 and the bike is a beast. My alternator went out and I had to find a compatible model on ebay because they don't offer the OEM anymore.

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 had to order a motorcraft alternator which hasn't given me any problems 6 months later.

He replaced the alternator and serpentine belt. Parts $208 for alternator and belt. Labor $100. Limited lifetime warranty on alternator and 3 years on belt. Honda Civic.

They're pretty expensive. Our Honda Odyssey needed one and it was $700 remanufactured. The labor is pretty easy but the part is pricey

Been there with a Motorcraft alt. 181K miles. She stopped charging. No batter light on the dash. I laid it to rest and paid my respects.

I have a 2013 manual. I've had to put 3 or 4 alternators in mine. The last one literally lasted a year, luckily it was still under warranty, and I only had to pay for the labor to have it changed out.

I have a 2002 acura el 1.7... battery lite in. Have put 3 aftermarket alternators in it, a new battery. Replaced all grounds, now replaced the ecm. Battery lite still on and car won't charge.

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.
