From personal experience, I'd recommend the duralast gold alternator from autozone. I originally got the duralast regular alternator but I had to change it out it least 2 more times under warranty. The last time I just decided to upgrade to the gold version since I was sick of replacing the alternator, and it's been great for over 2 years now. Remanufactured ones are usually junk, get a new one like the duralast gold one. FYI what usually gives out first is the built in voltage regulator, that's what went wrong every time with the cheaper remanufactured alternator. There might be other good ones out there but that's my experience

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.
I have a 2007 Chevy suburban and the altenator died so went to Autozone and purchased a new duralast 220.00. This worked for a few days and the battery died again. Checked voltage and only had 9 volts coming from altenator. Took back the altenator for them to bench test and they did not have the proper connections. Gave me another altenator installed worked great for 2 days. This new altenator was also not working and was given a third altenator.
If you go to autozones website and plug your car info in, what price does it give you for the duralast gold alternator?
IMO duralast doesn\u2019t last no where near as long as a good quality Bosch/Denso alternator.
The Duralast one looks to have a lifetime warranty.
Finally, ordered a duralast Alternator which is expected to be delivered tomorrow.
Been running a duralast in mine for about a year no problems.

Duralast 11120 (if that's what is on the invoice) doesn't have a lot of great reviews...
