Alternator Denso or AC DELCO

I had beefed up my audio system and the stock alternator could no longer keep up with the amperage demand. I decided to upgrade it myself. Eventually that unit gave out.

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

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.

Have never had to warranty out a denso alternator.

Denso and alternators from Toyota are the only ones we\u2019ll use for this exact reason.

Get a denso reman or be prepared to replace it again in a year.

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

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.
