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.
I have a 96 that I purchased with 40,000 miles and am just shy of 300,000. Most reliable car I've ever owned. Biggest "issue" I've had was replacing the alternator besides normal maintenance.
My 09 Se Camry V6 currently has 452k km on it. The most reliable thing I have ever owned. The only issues I have had was with it was an alternator at 445k.
On that list, I'd only go with the AC Delco.
Only brand here I am confident with is ACDELCO, Wai I’ve installed due to customer already having the part but I cannot swear to its reliability.
Honestly, even the AC Delco quality is questionable.
I just went through a headache replacing my 3rd alternator in 2 years. I took it to the shop and they put an oem alternator in it and told me not to buy the parts store alternators. It's fine if you don't mind pulling them out to replace every year or so.
7 alternators in a row. Wouldnt charge. Or only charged for like a minute.
ACDELCO because if I get another API alternator that’s defective I’m going to kill somebody
