My auto shop is replacing the alternator on my 2013 Sienna for $657 with a DENSO part which is the only brand you should be using IMO.
Put the desno in fixed all my problems
Just bought one better denso at the auto parts store last year, was a 20min install, btw need to remove the rf tire and plastic to easily access as well as the bottom plates. Imo nice solid car and needs a decent part.
Denso is the OE for Land Rover.
Denso for sure, will last as long as the original, I think 20 years was a good life. The no name and parts store brand ones almost always fail shortly after install
With alternators and starters, only get Denso new or remanufactured if you can. The part store remans are junk.
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.
I did the Alternator on my ES350 (same 2GRFE engine) and it sucked. It was my first major repair project and took almost all day for me.
I bought reman denso 2 years ago and it lasted 1 year.
denso manufacture rebuild. don't fall for the auto part store rebuilds, not worth it no matter what warranty
