Denso › Alternator

Warning light:

Just replaced the original alternator on mine last weekend. Battery light came on while running errands, managed to get it home without issue. The next day battery was completely drained. Charged it up, as soon as I reconnected the battery terminals I had a 10 amp draw (car was off) and the alternator started smoking. Put a reman Denso in and all is well a week later.

Pros: all is well

Cons: alternator started smoking

Vehicle: Honda Element

Mileage: 195000 km

RockAuto does offer Motorcraft alternators and back in 2021, I purchased one for my 2016 5.0 Lariat.

Pros: OEM alternator

Cons: expensive

Vehicle: Ford

When it comes to an Alt i would spend the extra dough for an OEM model like Motorcraft. Nothing wrong with Rock Auto. I always buy there.

Pros: OEM model

Reman Denso from Advance thru WorldPak 210-1054. Same day, maybe 30 minute install. Never looked back and better than a used one with unknown history IMO!

Pros: better than used, easy install

Part number: 210-1054

If you can go Denso, just go with that regardless of reman or new. The ACDelco will probably be fine, too.

Pros: probably be fine

Fcp euro, Bosch alternator for less than $400 including core charge, free shipping. Lifetime replacement. Believe it’s 5% off 250+ currently as well. Bosch is the OE supplier, no aftermarket concerns.

Pros: lifetime replacement, OE supplier

Part number: 36012382

Warning light:

Actually, yes. I did. They did take it back though, after a couple of phone calls.\n\n+1 for Valeo. -10 for Reman.\n\nIf your alternator goes, absolutely get a new one, original spec.

Pros: Valeo is good

Cons: Reman is bad

Vehicle: BMW
