Just a little follow up since I needed a part. I tried all the links provided for a power steering pump replacement. Autonation was cheaper than factory motor parts by 5 bucks, but factory motor parts has it local to me, will deliver, and will pick up the core once it’s ready. So no brainer on this end.
Finding a non reman pump was a lot harder than I thought it would be and in some cases 3x the price. In fact remans were all that was available at the dealer. Which btw, tried to price match, but could only discount 16 bucks off. So I saved another 8 bucks over the dealer at fmp.
Rockauto had good prices, but the certified ford instructors here at the school, one who also works at oriellys part time said to stay clear of every one of the brands sold at oriellys. Which ruled out all the brand choices at rock auto. He said the return rate on all those brands wasn’t worth whatever warranty they offered. Was strongly advised to get the ford reman. Hth’s
