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.
I know my 2005 S60 alternator has a chip in it that is necessary to talk to the car's ECU so be careful buying aftermarket.
Denso is the only reman brand I will use.
Assuming this is a T5 (5cyl) that price is about right for the dealer. I had my alternator replaced under warranty about 2 years ago and the billed price was right about 1350 for just the alt replacement.
I kept driving it and it eventually completely lost voltage. Threw another Denso in there and it’s golden.
Put a Denso rem one from Rock Auto on my 07 and it was great.
Parts store house brand parts are notoriously poor quality when it comes to electronic parts such as sensors, starters, alternators, etc.
I got this message when the mechanic replaced my alternator with a non-OEM unit that didn't have a voltage regulator.
