So I pull the battery out and we take it back to Autozone. Nonoe of the dome lights, instrument lights, etc even came on. Everything runs fine for a day, then we didn't drive it the next day. ![]() AND it is $25 cheaper, so it's a win-win-win-win.So I put the new alternator in, test the voltage and it is putting out 14.2v at idle, great. 80) and one member here stated that it has better bearings to stand up to higher RPMs. Plus, it is rated for 5 more amps (85 vs. It is a direct bolt on, the housing and connectors are exactly the same. Now I chose to get the alternator that is spec'ed for the 2ZZ. So I pull the alternator, take it to Autozone, and get a new (well, remanufactured) unit.

She doesn't have any mods or heavy drains on the electrical system.The new battery runs fine for a couple days, then dies again after being parked overnight.

Features.Premium cores and precise OE assembly benchmarks| Design to meet the grueling heat and electrical requirements| First Time Fitprovides perfect mounting with no belt/pulley alignment issues| Benefits.Cliff's notes: Replaced battery and alternator this week, both were tested good at Autozone today, battery is still dying every 2 days. DENSO First Time Fitalternators meet or exceed all manufacturer standards, mount properly with a minimum of installation issues, and provide years of reliable service.

Offered in versions from 40 to 160 amperes and beyond for hundreds of specific vehicle applications, all alternators meet DENSO's rigorous First Time Fitstandards. New or remanufactured, a DENSO alternator is a quality component. Bearings are validated to OE standards and loaded with premium OE standard lubricants. Rotor slip rings are buffed to an 8 micron surface finish, with runout limited to 20 microns, minimizing brush wear and abrasion. Stators and rectifiers are tested to 300 volts, while rotors are submitted to 600 volts, all to ensure reliable performance. Remanufactured DENSO alternators go through a grueling process. DENSO alternators are not only original equipment on many of the world's top production cars| they are a favorite in motorsports as well, where their light weight, high efficiency, and durability under the most demanding conditions make them the natural choice.
