Well, it had to happen sometime.
My alternator started making noise(still charges though)

Oh well, just wanted to let everyone know.

Seems like the Denso alternator does last a while.

 

Wth, my stock one barly made it to 40k lol...
Thats unreal!

 

Nice! My stocker is still going strong @ 90K miles. I don't spin it much faster than stock redline so hope it will last just as long as yours.

 

That's rediculous. Spray some lube on it. It'll make it a few thousand more miles.

 

307k what more can you ask from it

Mine is fine at 150k. Knock Wood

 

Mine crapped out at 125k lol

 

wow! at 307? who cares if evo is making cow noises!
thats unreal lol.

 

Was this the stock alternator???

 

I'm at 112K miles and Im on my 3rd alternator

 

**** me, I just had mine rebuilt at 30k cuz I was driving around with the dash out and didn't realize i need that to make my alternator charge hahahha.

 

Yes, I have never changed it since I bought the car back in 2005, battery was replaced a while back but not the alternator. Again, it is still charging, just bearing making noise.

Just wondering why? Charging or bearing failures? does your car sit for a while? And what replacements do you get? I heard the autozone rebuilds with cheaper parts and get replaced earlier.

Yeah, it's something we learned at tech school a while back. A lot of stuff goes thought the dash now.

 

im on my 3rd in about a year

 

Again, I am wondering what brand do you guys replace with?

Remy(lifetime warranty)
Car Quest(performance plus)
Autozone(Duralast)
Denso original reman
Mitsubishi reman(denso I'm guessing)

Or something else.

 

Oh man have you tried warranty? Seems kinda early lol
On a serious note, whoa! 300+K????

 

I guess you got your money's worth?

That's funny that the alternator lasted that long being DENSO, their OEM oil filters are garbage. Glad to hear not everything they make is just average.

100k for any alternator is very good.
