hope you got her fixed up... had a similar issues pulled my alt and gave her a deep CLEAN and working again but ordered this up [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M01GQ3C?ref=ppx\\_yo2ov\\_dt\\_b\\_fed\\_asin\\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M01GQ3C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) exact part number from mitsu cross referenced. EXACT FIT AND WORKS LIKE A CHAMP now to have the OEM rebuilt and have it as a spare
Pros: exact fit, works great
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi
For hpw old your car is, and the price of these boys in the photo, id go to your local autozone and get their alternator, simply because they come with a lifetime warranty
Pros: lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
Acura TLX
+1 for Denso. Friend of mine got a used Mitsubishi alternator for his Murano with slightly higher Amp rating (doesn't matter, just means it will handle load better).
Pros: handle load better
Vehicle:
Nissan Murano
I'd just get something with a warranty. I've been using Duralast from Autozone for the longest time and haven't had too many issues
Pros: warranty, not many issues
I’ve never had an issue with a Duralast starter or alternator. However, honestly, I probably wouldn’t put one on my Lexus. I’ve generally shoved them into cheaper and simpler cars.
Pros: no issues with Duralast
Cons: wouldn't put on Lexus
Vehicle:
Lexus IS
Autozone will give lifetime warranty on certain (duralast gold maybe?) alternators. I got the replacement very wet (dumb), and it died while I was driving.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Cons: died while driving
Duralast are shit alternator. See it time and time again people buy them and have more problems afterwards.
Cons: poor quality, causes problems
I burned up 4 of the duralast Gold GM 12si alternators while they were still under warranty, if I had to venture a guess it would be they don't like high RPM . I removed them from two of my samurai's and went back to stock, haven't had a problem since
Cons: don't like high RPM
I went through 3 duralast nators on my wife's exploder before I got one that lasted more than 6mos. Aftermarket everything has mostly gone to shit.
Cons: lasted less than 6mos
I have experience with both shitty Autozone Duralast alternators and I would not purchase them.
I have shadow codes for my water pump because of it, and my voltage is not high enough at idle, and never surpasses 13.5ish volts. It whines loudly, and it doesn't make the same power as my last alternator contrary to the ratings.
Cons: whines loudly, low voltage
