i got another question I called advanced and auto zone the tps is $33.95 and like $66.95 for a tps with a life time warranty.then i called the dodge dealer and they have one made by dodge for $133.95 why so big of a price hike?my buddy tells me to get the one from the dealer cause they looked the part up by my vin number and it will be an exact match made by mopar.you think the $33.95 one from advanced is good enough or should i go buy the tps for $133.95 from the dealer?what one would you buy?does it really matter?

I'd go to NAPA and get the Delphi part for $68 or so. And yes, it matters if you care about how long you go before doing the job again.

To me there are just certain things that should come from the dealer, and those are the sensor's for motors. Yes they are more money, I find that they work better than most parts store parts and they last longer as well. Everybody has there op on this it's your choice.

I don't know where Chrysler gets their stuff, but Delphi is an OEM supplier for several parts for several manufacturers. I've been using their aftermarket repair parts since the 1960's with never a complaint.
