Reviews of OEM Toyota alternator

My last OEM Toyota alternator made it to 250K miles. My future non-Toyota ones failed because they were cheap remanufactured ones and later I found a failing harmonic balancer that was putting extra pressure on bearings of the alternator

I just had to replace original alternator in my 213k mile 2017.

I legit daily drive an 03 camry, the only thing that needed changing in my 2 years of owning it was the alternator.

For any other car it would be replace but it's a Camry, those items especially water pump and alternator generally needs replacing at 220k but as long as you replace them with OEM Toyota parts you'll be good for years to come.

I\u2019m 43 and only have had 3 cars in my life only Corollas and Camry. I get a new one around 250k miles. They are great reliable cars that run well with basic maintenance. Only wear and tear items have I ever replaced with the exception of an alternateer on one of my corollas at around 200k miles. As long as I can keep going to 250k I will keep buying them.

This year, I needed my (original) alternator replaced.

Did this years ago in my 5th gen, not because of more Amps, but because for some dumb reason the Alternator for the Celica was $250 reman (back in 2014), but Camry's in the Junk yard with Good OEM Alternators were plentiful. That was after I had 3 reman alternators fail in less than 6 months, 2 being DOA!

The large frame alternator from a 1997-2001 Camry with the 2.2L(5S) will fit the Celica with minimal modifications. I had to grind the staked washer on the alternator a bit on the pivot side, and unbolt the bottom of the adjuster bracket to let it slightly swing out. Result is a 220A alternator in my 6th Gen to power the upgraded sound system without my lights flickering.

Original starter and alternator

I have a manual 2007 Toyota yaris with +185k miles on it and the only thing that's ever needed replaced on that car (besides brakes, oil, and tires) is the alternator a few months ago, which I was able to do easily for <$150.
