Since they guarantee them for life, I'll bet you'll be replacing them for life...every 10,000 miles. EVERYONE I know with whatever cars they have bought the Autozone pump, 10-15k later, drip drip. Went to OEM, never looked back.

I usually look to buy stuff that doesn't have a warranty (except Craftsman). If you need a warranty to feel good about the product you're buying - especially something as much of a pain in the *** as a water pump - it's probably not the most reliable product. Just look at the warranty on Kia's.

Yeah very true. OEM is a bit more but in the end it is worth it. The only thing I wont buy OEM ******* spark plugs. Those ******* got me for like 4 bucks a plug!!!
