Alternator OEM FORD or Mitsuboshi

+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 bought my alternator from RockAuto and the Mitsubishi one **IS** the OEM part
Pros: OEM part, quality belt
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mitsubishi made a heap of OEM parts for other brands. Including alternators for Mazda lol. Also various electronic modules too.
Pros: OEM parts for Mazda
Vehicle:
Mazda 323
OEM. I've had to warranty and eat so much labor from faulty auto parts store starters and alternators it's unreal. They cost more, but I rarely have an issue with OEM.
Pros: rarely have issue
Cons: cost more
I had lots of issues with a ‘96 4.6 Cobra. Back and forth between battery, alternator issues. Maybe, six months between issues. Finally replaced the alternator with new, not reman and changed the battery at the same time. That lasted for the next three years that I owned the car and was still fine when I sold the car.
Pros: new alternator lasted
Cons: alternator issues
Vehicle:
Ford
12-plate Fiesta, 106k miles
- Alternator is intermittent
- Rear bushes are audibly fucked
- Radiator fan packed up so it overheats when idling in warm weather
Cons: Alternator intermittent, rear bushes
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
Mileage: 106000 km
My then 97 Lancer GSR broke down in the middle of a highway on my way due to alternator and throttle body issues.
Cons: alternator issues
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
My neighbor had a Ford mustang and he had to jump start it about once a week. I checked the alternator and it had power when the car was off. Bad diode.
Pros: bad diode
Cons: power when car off
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I have a shitty looking Ford Focus that I maintain myself...The alternator failed and I couldn't be bothered doing the work myself so I took it to the local dealer.
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
I haven't had this problem with my RX8, but I had a similar problem with my Ford. Alternator was putting out 14.4V, but I still had a light. Took it to the parts store and they hooked it up to their tester. It said the Alternator was no good.
Cons: Alternator was no good
Vehicle:
Mazda
