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.
Depends on if you want the cheapest store brand they make or OEM quality Motorcraft. I’ve gone through enough cheap alternators in my life that I only mess with OEM anymore.
If you can get motorcraft, that is my recommendation.
Please, genuine alternators are only like $30 more and you won't suffer these issues. And also they last.
I went and got a Mazda one off of Moss bc I was sick of AutoZone remanned ones blowing up. It's plenty nice for stock electrical load
Got some faulty alternators from autozone that were overcharging or undercharging. I just bought an oem reman from mazdaswag, (or any mazda dealership store online). Works fine now.
It's a dice roll. I've had some success with them, but when I put a reman one in my Focus, it only lasted 2 weeks.
I'm surprised Mazda is rated so poorly, I had a Mazda MPV for 8 years and honestly the only problem I had was the driver's side window gear was worn out, and the alternator.
