Alternator VALEO or Duralast

VALEO Alternator

Rating 4.0

I replaced my alternator with a Valeo unit. They manufacture the OEM part. Think it was 300$ or so, while OEM was almost double. Just a heads up, there’s almost zero clearance to remove the alternator. Really tight fit.

Pros: manufacture the OEM part
Cons: zero clearance, tight fit

Duralast Alternator

I had a new remanufactured duralast alternator as well that I thought was defective but I kept following the power cable off the alternator and found the fusible link.

Cons: defective

When I lived in walking distance of a 24-hour AutoZone, there seemed to be more people waiting in line to get their lifetime-warranted DuraLast alternators replaced than for battery replacements.

Duralast Alternator

And while I dont recall Hyundai being one of them, there are certain make/models that need an OEM alternator or they just wont work right (i.e Duralast Alternator in a BMW X5=bad idea)

Cons: bad idea
Vehicle: BMW X5
