i agree

Especially when it has to do with the power train.
Oil system, cooling system - only OE or after market parts that are recommended as better.
Just changed my water pump, hoses, coolant and thermostat.
All parts are OE accept for the thermo from LN.
The total cost was 600$ - half of what I would pay in a dealership.
If I would use after market parts, I could save 200$. Is that a lot? Yes
Dose it worth it? Not to me.
Next project I intend to do, is replacing the torn rubber boots on my rear axel.
I thinking about replacing the CV joint as well, although they are not “clicking”
In that case I will probably use an after market product, but only one that is an OEM supplier.
