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!
just get a denso reman.
If you can go Denso, just go with that regardless of reman or new. The ACDelco will probably be fine, too.
Replace the alternator. The battery light indicates the battery is not being charged (due to bad alternator), losing power steering is also a sign of bad alternator as it provides the power for it to function. O'Reilly battery test also confirms this as battery should read 13-14V if it's being charged by the alternator. Recommend going with OEM alternator or name branded aftermarket like Denso which is the OEM supplier for reliability reasons. This should fix most of your issues.
Your Denso alternator lasted 22+ years. It’s way better quality than cheap reman alternators out there.
I called the dealership to see if they have an alternator for a 2002 is300. Crazy enough they still sale them! List price is $344 but you do get a discount from the core of the OEM alternator only. These alternators are reman but it’s from the dealership (actually denso) so it’ll have the quality to go with it. I ended paying $216 due to my employee discount on top of the core exchange.
I'm thinking about getting a Denso remanufactured unit for my Accord. The price isn't much more than the local auto store brand alternators, but those are notorious for being unreliable.
Dealer quoted me $557 for my 15 f150 alternator the other day. Found the same motorcraft alternator for $325-ish (+a $75 core charge). A little less painful. I share them same feelings as a couple other posters. Been burned by enough cheap-o remans over the years to skimp on certain parts.
Same at Firestone... 1697 for all quoted with denso alternator. The location/labor is what gets you on this one.
I recently removed the old Alternator (Valeo OEM) in my 2011 Hyundai Accent and went to replace it with a new Denso alternator and it won\u2019t fit into the bracket above the oil filter. After measuring the mounting spacing of both I found that the new one is 2\u201d wide and old one is 2 1/8\u201d.
