With alternators and starters, only get Denso new or remanufactured if you can. The part store remans are junk.
Pros: Denso new or remanufactured
Cons: part store remans junk

Maintenance I do oil every 10k km including all filters except fuel filter (every 2nd oil change). Basically never burns any oil, didn’t have to fill up at all. Only alternator broke down in extreme heat at 150k km but that’s expected.
Pros: never burns any oil
Cons: alternator broke down
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
Mileage: 10000 km
The Delphi I haven\u2019t found a lot on but people seem to consider it reliable.
Pros: considered reliable
Mileage: 200000 km
Part number: 15750871N
I had the original alternator go last summer (it was old). Mechanic replaced it, and then went thru 3 batteries over the course of the summer.
The alternator was the culprit. Replaced it with a Denso (Acura OEM) and the problem was solved. Aftermarket alternator was the source of the parasitic draw.
Pros: problem was solved
Cons: parasitic draw
Vehicle:
Acura TSX
I have a 2005 Pilot and just did this a few months ago.
Denso. They are the OE manufacturer and those things last 20 years. They only offer a reman for your car, but it’s a good product.
I only install Denso alternators in my Japanese cars and never had an issue. Aftermarket alternators have a high failure rate. Denso is solid.
Pros: good product, Denso is solid
Cons: reman only
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
Remy and AC Delco are good. I have never had any issues with WAI parts and I had not had any real issues with BBB until very recently.
Pros: Remy and AC Delco good
Cons: BBB recent issues

I got 3 AC Delco remans from RA before they refunded my money and refused to send a 4th...The third they sent arrived fine but lasted 37 miles on the car before the front bearing locked up. Over a month of headache and ended up buying a Tuff Stuff alternator.
Pros: arrived fine initially
Cons: bearing locked up
Mileage: 60 km
I recently had two brand new Bosch remanufactured alternators fail. One after six weeks, and one was bad right out of the box.
Cons: failed quickly
