today i was hoseing down my engine and noticed the p/s pump looks like it may have sprung a leak ....i'm sure it's something simple like the pressure hose or the return hose a simple enough fix,but it got me to thinking ...this is the one from the factory and the trucks got 205k on it so i was thinking about looking into a replacement some time in near future.
i looked at advance ,auto zone and they had remanufactured units of course at around the same prices ( give or take $10-15 for the cheaper ones) ,but i went to look at napa .figureing that at least napa would sell new units or on the low end of the scale ....remanufactured units by napa ( still beter quality than advance or az ) but to my surprise the ones they sold were the same pictured ones that for example advance auto sells ! same pics same product description....same .
advance auto sells for a little cheaper than the napa units so would it be a good idea to get one from there instead from napa ?? i ALWAYS go to napa for all my accessory buys ( pumps/alt's/starters etc...) so i'm at a loss on this one ....has napa got crappier over the years or what ?
