Alternator OEM Toyota 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

I’d recommend going by a local Toyota dealer parts department and getting an OEM replacement. It’s more pricey than aftermarket but… it’ll last as long as the original Toyota alternator did.

Owned a 4th gen 4runner for over 10 years. Boring to drive and look at, but it took a lot of abuse and never gave me any problems. It only had to be towed once due to the alternator going out on me 50 miles from home.

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

I suggest either getting your OEM DENSO alternator rebuilt at a shop (costs like $60?) or picking up a low mileage used DENSO alternator from a junk yard (or eBay). The Amazon new ones are probably junk and can cause trouble down the line.

The alternator of my Corolla died. I bought a reman Denso alternator from RockAuto and made the swap. However, the new alternator makes a loud, screeching sound when I start the car. It goes away after a minute-ish.
