2005 CRV. 247k miles on original alternator and still functioning well according to a load test.
I would like to buy a quality rebuild kit for the alternator to have on hand when the time comes to refurbish it? Anyone have a source for higher quality brushes/regulator than the link below? Only want to replace it once if possible as it's not any easy drop in replacement.
Aside from brushes, regulator, and bearings, anything else that should be replaced? Are the old diodes usually ok?
Other option is to buy a Denso rebuilt alternator through Denso (OEM supplier) for approx $250, plus tax and shipping, and be done with it. Apparently,Honda discontinued alternators for these 20 year old vehicles. I've checked online Honda dealers and states "discontinued".
How many miles did your original alternator last?
Thanks for any insight!
