Alternator OEM FORD or OEM Honda

I have a 2007 CRV with 132,500 The car has been reliable and I'm currently dealing with replacing parts due to the age. Since the last quarter of 2025 I replaced the tensioner/belt,mid pipe, muffler/hardware and alternator.

I had this issue with my 2013 civic. Was replacing the battery about every 12-18 months. All the systems tested fine but the problem was fixed when I finally replaced the alternator.

I had a 2016 accord sport that i just sold with over 200k miles. It has all its original belts,water pump, valves,thermostats, and sensors. The only major thing i changed was the alternator. I did regular maintenance and fluid changes with no issues and of course batteries, brakes, and rotors.

I can\u2019t make out the sound but once upgraded the alternator on my 29 roadster pu that had a late model bronco v6 in it and the darn thing sounded like I had a super charger with the whirling. Crazy sound but ran perfectly fine for as long as I had the truck (years).

First gen Expedition- I'm not a Ford fan, but some of those old Expeditions were amazing. Definitely seem to be hit or miss, either bulletproof or a nightmare with no in between. My father had a 98 that he bought new and scrapped in 2019 with just shy of 500k miles, absolutely beat the living shit out of that truck and it just wouldn’t die, only ever needed an alternator, 2 shifter cables, a brake hose and 2 ignition coils.

My alternator just died at 83k miles but otherwise it’s been painless I love the car

I have a 2013 manual. I've had to put 3 or 4 alternators in mine. The last one literally lasted a year, luckily it was still under warranty, and I only had to pay for the labor to have it changed out.

good luck ever finding an oem alternator that isn\u2019t $1700 from honda dealership. Denso been on back order for fucking years somehow

I've got a 2017 ford escape needs a new alternator costs 1100 $, wtf for a Ford not happy.

I’ve been busting my butt all day trying to get the alternator out of my 2004 ford focus (mk1) for a few painful reasons
