I purchased a 2002 Nissan Quest alternator for my 2002 Xterra. It bolts right up. 120 amps instead of 80 amps.
Pros: bolts right up, higher amps
Vehicle:

Owner reviews for alternator
Manufacturers
Comparisons
The 07K 2.5l came with either a 140A Valeo or 140A Bosch alternator. Be sure you're buying based on alternator brand.
The Denso remans are pretty great, as they are also an alternator manufacturer.
Pros: pretty great
On the flip side Reman Denso ALT are great IMHO.
Pros: great quality
I had to replace my alternator as well....low voltage in the battery will cause faulty gauge readings and irrelevant warning lights until all is restored....I went with a 120 amp Valeo; the pulley had to be swapped from my old alternator...
Pros: 120 amp, solved issue
Cons: pulley had to be swapped
Singer Alternators is going to be your best bet for a strong reliable alternator. He offers a lifetime warranty with every alternator that is purchased and also does powder coating for like $50 extra.
Pros: strong reliable alternator, lifetime warranty
But its a Ford truck/suv and the alternators ALWAYS go bad on them. Word to the wise, buy an AC Delco replacement or Ford OEM, anything else will just die again-they always do.
Cons: die again
Vehicle:
Ford
okay so i installed an alternator in my car yesterday, boosted it, let the battery charge a bit, removed jumpers...car stalled.
Pros: alternator installed, battery charged
Cons: car stalled
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Reminds me of my old mans '96 Honda Civic hatch. 6 hours to do the swap (4.5 out and 1.5 with a dinner break in) in his yard using mallets and a fucking chisel to get the old one out.
Cons: difficult swap, took 6 hours
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Had an appetite for alternators, as they put it behind the rear cylinder head and tried to keep it cool with some little rubber/plastic air duct. Failboat. We sold the car with its third alternator, each failure attributed to failure of the rear bearings.
Cons: failure of rear bearings
Mileage: 140000 km
