Alternator OEM Volvo or Duralast
We just replaced the wife's X three weeks ago. Had the same problem you had with a battery light and brake light. Ended going to AutoZone when we were in vacation and got a Duralast Gold and had a local mechanic do the install.
Vehicle:
Nissan
If you go to autozones website and plug your car info in, what price does it give you for the duralast gold alternator?
The Duralast one looks to have a lifetime warranty.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
Acura MDX
Been running a duralast in mine for about a year no problems.
Pros: no problems
IMO duralast doesn\u2019t last no where near as long as a good quality Bosch/Denso alternator.
Pros: good quality Bosch/Denso
Cons: duralast doesn't last
Finally, ordered a duralast Alternator which is expected to be delivered tomorrow.
Vehicle:
Mazda
Made the mistake of buying the duralast, first one lasted a couple months, and the second one is dying, only charging the battery at highway speeds, just like the first one before it died.
Cons: died after a couple months
We have a lady with an infinity that comes in once a year to get her duralast alternator replaced.
Cons: replaced once a year
Vehicle:
Infiniti
I bought a Duralast for my ‘99 E55 a few years ago. It didn’t work so I pulled the rectifier off of it, put it on the original one, which put out at 14.2 v back in the car. I returned the Duralast one after I made the old rectifier look like new. The shaft rotation on the Duralast felt gritty, too.
Cons: didn’t work, shaft rotation gritty
Duralast = Duramightlast. They're just overpriced cheap rebuilt cores.
Cons: overpriced, cheap rebuilt cores
