Alternator Replacement - 05 Civic
Trying to make up my mind on which brand I should buy for alternator replacement.

So far I am thinking about the

Premier Gear PG-13893 (new)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

or the Denso 2104148 (reman)
https://www.amazon.com/Denso-2104148...=DENSO+2104148

Anyone have experience with Premier Gear in particular? On the other hand is buying a reman Denso alternator a good idea?

Hopefully it won't fail after driving for 10 minutes lol.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Alternator Replacement - 05 Civic
Call your local auto electric shop and ask how much and how long to rebuild your alternator. I'll bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I had a rebuild...It lasted 1.5 years and blew again. ...now I'm running a Beck and Arnley, cheap and durable.

Re: Alternator Replacement - 05 Civic
I've been rocking an Autozone duralast for.. a few years now

Had one seize on me after 3 years, but got it replaced for free thanks to its lifetime warranty

Re: Alternator Replacement - 05 Civic
It seems like a hit or miss for reman alternators in general.

I think I'm gonna go with a Denso reman.
