Which water pump to get?

Local dodge dealer wants $350. Local NAPA dealer wants $150. On rockauto.com I can get water pumps for $35 to $50 bux. The name brands are :AIRTEX (AW7145 $35.79), ACDELCO (252318 $49.79), Bosch part (cummins OEM replacement (97083 $52.79), A-1 Cardone (58629 $53.79) and .99$ for the oring gasket. Have u heard of these name brands?

I've had really good luck with the NEW Airtex pumps. I wouldn't waste the time or money on a reman. Dealer price is rediculous! I have the NAPA pump on mine, though, but no problems as of 40K miles. They had it in stock and mine was leaking. No time to order or be too particular. Check Oreilly's too....they sell Airtex products.

rockauto has had the cheapest prices I have found. I had a little bit of bad luck with them, but it seems an uneducated salesperson gave me wrong info on some suspension parts. I called every suspension part supplier only to find out that no one makes greasable inner tie rods for my 3rd gen. They had assured me that all of the pieces would be greasable. They made it right with me. It took a couple of weeks to get my refund, but they were very decent to deal with. I would more than likely buy from them again.
