Any opinions on which of the parts houses has the best deal on a water pump? My 4.8 is in need of one and I didn't want to buy a turd. My buddy that works at a small garage says the local O'Reilly's has given them a hassle about warranty returns.

AZ has a new, lifetime warranty pump w/no core charge for $119. Just seeing what everyone thought. Thanks!

I ended up getting a new Bosch.

I bought mine from advance auto parts for about $120.. i cant remember the brand but it was new and not a remanufactured one..

I think Amazon. It was the lowest price at the time.

I guess I'll go with the $119 one from AZ and put a new belt on it while it's apart. I wish I had a 34" rad and e-fans to go in at the same time, but that'll have to wait.

Chinese knockoff?

I ordered my 34" efans from ebay for $200 shipped and a new oem 34" radiator for like $190 off of the web its alittle costly but a worthwhile mod.. it deff helped out with the highway mpg.

the one from advance auto parts is a BWD manufacturer. Borg Warner Division. the AZ pump is the house brand pump. they own the manufacturing plant so its a new one, guaranteed not made in country but most likely mexico, same goes for the BWD but IMO i would go with BWD. or Bosch. I see and hear too many returns/defects on duralast stuff that their price is not worth R/R the pump every 3 years or so, even if the price is a few bucks lower. just my two cents.
