No, don't get the denso remanufactured, because I got mine and it failed right out of the box.

I recently purchased parts from NAPA. Got a Denso reman alternator, water pump, and belt tensioner.
Buy off rockauto and go with denso brand
Alternator is easy. OEM or Denso for sure. It’s a super easy job.
Alternator went out a few days ago, replaced it with a remanufactured Denso from rockauto. It was a pain to install , now I'm getting code P0335 for crank position sensor. Car turns over and cranks but does not want to turn on .
I feel like I got a steal for my alternator replaced in my Avalon. Battery light came on and I went and bought a reman Denso at NAPA for $340 after the refund for the core. It was done in 45 minutes
The Denso branded remanufactured alternator arrived from Rock Auto with a broken plastic socket. I arranged a return and replacement, but the second unit also arrived with the exact same damage. I believe the issue is with Denso's factory packaging, as the alternator is placed socket-down without cushioning. I returned the second replacement for a refund.
I went with a reman Denso alternator over a new off brand alternator for my Camry and had no issues.
Update: I ended up sourcing my own parts and sent them a quote from someone else and they matched it. Will have a Denso alternator installed and Costco battery for about $1k.
Manual, buy a reman denso or used or new OEM off the eBay or other seller, harder to rebuild those in my experience.
