Alternator-Original New Denzo vs New Aftermarket?

[Northrunner]

Any reason to pay $160.00 more for the Denzo unit?

If you have your original alternator I would not trade it in for a junk reman.

This would be a better option, IMO.

Here's the rectifier if you should need.

Funny how some came with Denso and others with Bosch. Mine came with a Bosch.

Mine came with a Bosch too and the original lasted 226,000 miles and more than 15 years until a rebuild was required. I think the Denso and Bosch are both good units.

Rebuild it yourself or have it rebuilt.

After replacing a life time warranty alternator about 6 times in 6 years I bought a new Denso.

Don't do it you'll be sorry. Get the rebuild kit and rebuild the original! I was on the road and my original died was stuck with buying a "new" lifetime from a chain store. On my 3rd...
Rebuild, as every other person has replied. Or, like me, you'll regret it...

Bosch is going strong at over 400k on my 98 my Son now owned.
Personally I would have it professionally rebuilt.

There are a few other parts in there not included in the kit, and depending on where you live the original Denso could be pretty rough, I bought the Genos kit which would be fine, but there was some other small insulator part I needed because my truck was like what's left of the Titanic.

Then I needed to use one of those impact screwdrivers to loosen the one case bolt, phone rang in the middle, when I put my impact thing on the case was back on the wrong screw and plastic went flying, Genos did not carry the part I broke but I found this place that had a very similar kit for like $32 bearings and the sort we identical to Genos kit.

I wound up using Genos bearings and the other parts from the other place.

Shipping was fine, no issues on the PayPal, if you google the address the real name of the place will pop up, it's a small rebuild shop, but parts kit I got was a lifesaver for a idiot move on my part.

Tim, blasted technolology

Needed a bigger hammer for sure.

Lifetime warranty parts store parts are crap...
I replaced my OEM alternator with a Nations 180 amp. Has factory size pulley, 12 diodes instead of 6, and hairpin windings. If I remember right, it was around $200, but dont quote me on that. I'm very pleased with its performance too.
