Alternator OEM KIA or Denso

Get a Denso reman from RockAuto. It is the same as OEM Denso and is <$200 with core return.

Denso if you can find it. It will last another 25 years

Fix that, then replace with a reman Denso alternator from RockAuto.

What sort of alternator are you installing, because I've had two Chinese alternators fail but a genuine denso from pull a part has survived a good thrashing

The alternator on my 2019 Forte failed.

I bought a used one with 20k miles on it, an new idler and tensioner pulley for around $350. Installed it all myself.

On my 2010 Corolla I replaced it with a Duralast one and it lasted a couple months, then I replaced it with a Denso one and haven't thought about it since. Cars got almost 250k miles on it.

I supply Denso alternators for d3,4 Rrs

Denso is the OEM. I chose to rebuild mine with new bearings and brushes from Honda. The rectifier was the actual bad part, though. I put an aftermarket rectifier in for $30.

Purchase a new or remanufactured Denso or TYC alternator. Most others are a roll of the dice in terms of lasting longer than 12months.

my local garage replaced with an aftermarket. Two weeks ago the squeak of bad bearings arrived and *it* had to be replaced. A different mechanic (Honda specialist) said OEM parts were very hard to find, even here in Los Angeles, so they installed a better aftermarket alternator. That was a squeaker. Then they installed another: squeaker. Now I'm waiting for the delivery of a Denso alternator from Texas that's arriving on Friday. $100 more but I've got my fingers crossed.
