Aside from one being the OE part, how do these parts differ? The price differences are pretty substantial, but how much would quality differ?
On Rock Auto for my truck, there's a ~$110 difference between the Professional and OE water pumps. For tie rod ends, they only offer their Advantage and Professional line with a ~$25 difference. These are just examples so for any other parts, are there any other non AC Delco brands that would be "better"? They sell the OE AC Delco radiator for ~$150, but the Denso is ~$80. As much as I prefer OE for just about anything, I'd pick the Denso hands down in this case.
Anyone have any experience with others?
