I purchase electrical components from sparkplugs.com. If it's a Denso re-manufactured component it doesn't matter where it was made. It's Denso quality.Have a safe celebration tonight sir. Regards

yay!! thank you so much!!

i have another question, if you don't mind my asking. i'm looking at rock auto and some of their denso alternators are $130~ whereas some others are $160~, are the $160 ones better than the $130 ones?

i read somewhere that they are different grades? i'm not too sure what that means.

Scotty Kilmer mention on this video segment (@6.34mins), buying new alternator is better than rebuilt, and the rebuilt come from an failed that's repaired.

 

You can get a new one or a DENSO reman. As per current toyota OEM, it will be a DENSO reman ending in -84. A proper reman by reputable builders such as Remy etc would be a good choice. If not buy OEM. If getting an aftermarket one, then even Duralast (autozone) is fine since it will have lifetime warranty and local exchange. There are threads where some bought Bosch. Now I rebuilt mine on my Honda. If I knew a rebuild place near me, I would have let them do it instead of just using the kit. Properly rebuilt ones have appropriate parts replaced (rectifier, regulator, etc). I think others in Camry forum also stated a junkyard Denso would be better than AF new (YMMV).

With that said, a Denso reman or a Remy reman is good. Also depending on the source or type of purchase a core return is optional. Another option is to buy a higher amp one so that it uses less % output rather than overworking (but I am not an electrical eng). I did that for my sister before on an Accord where I got her a used denso Odyssey alt. That lasted her over 200k after which she sold her car. Not sure if it is still running or what. I opted that over a new AF one. Just my two cents.

 

Depending on how long I plan on keeping my Camry I was going to get a custom one built by DC Power Engineering..... They told me the largest alternator that can fit on the V6 (2011) is 280 amps which is a solid upgrade for the 105 amp or what ever the stock one is. It is also a $500 alternator and they stick by their warranty. You won't typically find an alternator like that in a Camry, but if you talk to the guys on the truck forms, they know DC Power Engineering Alternators are quality.

 

Denso is the manufacturer of the alternator, so select that if you can, even if it's a reman. You can look for the Denso sticker on your alternator. Look on DENSO Auto Parts

The US-made Camry would take 210-1127, which is a newer part number. Don't get the old part (210-0654). Beware that you pay return shipping for the core back to rockauto, there's discounted rate on their core return page.

Remy and BBB make aftermarket new alternators, but price-wise there doesn't seem to be much advantage. And you have to figure out which one is for the US market first. Don't end up with the wrong part.

omg that is super high amp and expensive. I think 130A would be fine unless you are planning for accessories also. I heard of that brand and there is one other in the high amp, performance area.

 

I just replace on 2021 Jan 4 for my 05 Camry V6 (1mzfe) with an TYC brand new alternator from Rockauto. Receive the package with shipping box with bubble wrap inside and item was well packed and no broken connector as reviewed on Amazon.com for TYC alternator. DC Power Engineering might make the best high output alternator, but the cost is really expensive for an daily driver and there's no reseller for DC Power Engineering in Canada and TYC is well priced for an new item and affordable for an average consumer.
Here's some picture before installation

 

I've used TYC parts, great value. Except Denso in recent years came down in price for a lot of their parts, radiator for example.
