With debt at $34T now and greater than US GDP, this is not a surprise. Tougher times ahead for sure. Sad but logical.

Unfortunately it is the way of the world now... Alternators for the Honda J35 have doubled/tripled in price over the past 6 - 7 years. I recently spent >$400 for a Napa Reman. Yes, they could be had for cheaper such as something from Rockauto but then you have to deal with the core exchange...

Our country is doomed

Sounds like there is a short somewhere... Get out the wiring diagram and trace the circuit to see where you need to check.

I don't think it will matter, just use a quality synthetic the meets your car's spec... I would change it and run it a bit right before you put it in the garage for the season.

I got the Aisin timing belt kit on my Odyssey as well. Works fine.

I'd go with the wider 265/70/R17, you won't get as good gas mileage but you will get better traction. Driving a V8 @ only 4k miles/year I doubt gas mileage is much concern anyhow. Right now I have Firestone Destination LE2 245/70/R17s that are pretty old but I only get about 3k/year on my...

Budget? lol

Yeah it's a Denso. Where would I get the OEM parts? Can you order them from Denso or do you have to find a dealer?

I was thinking it would just be a cool project and nice to have a spare... It would be a backburner project, my priority right now is chasing down an oil leak. Thought replacing the front rocker arm fixed it... Hoping its just residual oil from the install. The more I think about it, I may just...

I believe the OEM part is a Denso 210-0887

Unfortunately, it looks like they only have early 2000s starter rebuilds available for the Odyssey.

Yeah, it was because of an oil leak. Honda Service Bulletin 20-023. The leak was fixed at the time of alternator replacement.

I had to replace an oil fouled Alternator on a Honda J35 and I was wondering if I should attempt to clean it and rebuild it or if I should just turn the core in for $50. Is it hard to rebuild and what parts would I need to do the job? I have never done one before. Thanks.
