Thanks- it's a costly repair and I just want to be sure saving $10 doesn't mean another 4 figure repair any sooner than it should be.

In the past I have opted to use cheaper aftermarket brands but for the most part they have always let me down. I will only use OEM parts now.

When mine snapped the local Chrysler dealer in NW Atlanta did the job including water pump, tune-up, diagnosis, etc. for $1,200. That was after an independent told me I needed a new engine...I think you go w/ the dealer!!
