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.
I got denso on my car and it's perfectly fine
Denso by a very wide margin. The rest are not even close in quality.
Buy Denso remanufactured alternators only. Many many people have reported problems on Odys and Pilots with other brand alternators. Remanufactured and in a Denso box is what you want.
Try a Denso alternator. Somtimes those cheap ones at the auto stores just dont last.
The same thing happened to me. 2012 Toyota Camry LE. The car never asked for anything other than brakes and tires. At 120000 my alternator went out on the beginning of a vacation trip.
I would suggest Denso for the Honda. With a high amp usage like an Odyssey, anything, but Denso will cause the battery light to be on intermittently.
You can get a remanufactured Denso (OE) for that car: it's probably the most cost-effective option.
Drives fine, maybe a bit of whirr from the alternator area but hard for my ears to tell of that's out of normal none of the unhappy noise from before battery kicked it.
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.
