Go OEM on Water Pump & Belts

I had my timing chain replaced back at 100,000 and when I had it replaced I went with Napa brand belt and it broke after 75,000 which put me at 175,000. I then went with a Toyota belt but a Napa water pump and it went out on me this morning at 200,000 so If your on the fence of what to buy spend the xtra dough and get oem. It beats the 400.00 for labor on having it changed out. Rick

 

Dang man, that sucks... I'm right there with ya. I went with the OE parts when I did mine and that's been 55,000 miles ago

 

Live and learn but looks like today I will learn a little more than I live. Outside the timing chain and regular maintenance I put a wheel bearing in. Hope somebody reads this that might be on the fence and goes OEM. If your doing these fixes on your own then it may be OK to go with aftermarket part but when your paying I would only try and pay once. Rick

 

OEM or Aisin only.
