Alternator OEM Volvo or Duralast

We just replaced the wife's X three weeks ago. Had the same problem you had with a battery light and brake light. Ended going to AutoZone when we were in vacation and got a Duralast Gold and had a local mechanic do the install.

If you go to autozones website and plug your car info in, what price does it give you for the duralast gold alternator?

The Duralast one looks to have a lifetime warranty.

Been running a duralast in mine for about a year no problems.

IMO duralast doesn\u2019t last no where near as long as a good quality Bosch/Denso alternator.

Finally, ordered a duralast Alternator which is expected to be delivered tomorrow.

Made the mistake of buying the duralast, first one lasted a couple months, and the second one is dying, only charging the battery at highway speeds, just like the first one before it died.

We have a lady with an infinity that comes in once a year to get her duralast alternator replaced.

I bought a Duralast for my ‘99 E55 a few years ago. It didn’t work so I pulled the rectifier off of it, put it on the original one, which put out at 14.2 v back in the car. I returned the Duralast one after I made the old rectifier look like new. The shaft rotation on the Duralast felt gritty, too.

Duralast = Duramightlast. They're just overpriced cheap rebuilt cores.
