Alternator OEM Toyota or OEM Volvo

Assuming this is a T5 (5cyl) that price is about right for the dealer. I had my alternator replaced under warranty about 2 years ago and the billed price was right about 1350 for just the alt replacement.

I would not cheap out on an alternator, especially if you’re having a shop install it as paying for labor to replace two low quality alternators is equivocal to one OEM.

To date the 4 cylinder Camry alternator is the fastest one I’ve ever replaced. From start to finish I think I spent 20 minutes on it.

only thing I've done is change a battery, an alternator and tires (weather checking).

A 98k on a alternator made after 2020 isn't bad. Almost impressive.

I've been daily driving, road-tripping, and wheeling my 100 from 190k miles to its current 283k. Never once has it left me stranded. In that time I've replaced the alternator

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.

I have a 100A alt from a 900 series and it keeps me powered, but barely. And if I have the stereo loud + headlights and fogs and a/c, I get belt squeal.

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.

Alternator has been replaced 2 times within the year battery is also new and the odds of 2 brand new faulty alternators is pretty slim.
