Alternator OEM KIA or Denso

I feel like I got a steal for my alternator replaced in my Avalon. Battery light came on and I went and bought a reman Denso at NAPA for $340 after the refund for the core. It was done in 45 minutes

I went with a reman Denso alternator over a new off brand alternator for my Camry and had no issues.

Update: I ended up sourcing my own parts and sent them a quote from someone else and they matched it. Will have a Denso alternator installed and Costco battery for about $1k.

Manual, buy a reman denso or used or new OEM off the eBay or other seller, harder to rebuild those in my experience.

Have never had to warranty out a denso alternator.

Denso and alternators from Toyota are the only ones we\u2019ll use for this exact reason.

Similar symptoms when my '05 factory alternator died. Get a jump then measure the voltage at the battery. If it's ~14VDC, the alternator is charging. If it is only ~12VDC replace the alternator.

I just did mine last week with Denso remanufactured , snapped the bolt and had to replaced the pulley tensioner too ????

The alternator (new OEM Denso, 2nd one, installed about 100kmi ago) on my wife's 2007 Solara v6 3MZFE with 227kmi just died last night. She didn't make it home.

Unfortunately it’s proprietary Hyundai/Kia part. It’s now a common problem that if the alternator goes, so does the transmission because the low voltage fries the shift control solenoid. Lots of people complaining about this and yes, it happened to me.
