Hi all!

Recently, the water pump on my 2006 Dodge 1500 (3.7 L V6) has started leaking coolant onto the belt pulley, causing a lot of slip. Should I go to O'Reillys or RockAuto for a replacement, or am I better off with an OEM part? I want to avoid replacing this thing every couple years.

 

AdvanceAuto seems to have a decent pump for the 5.7, probably the same quality with the 3.7. But these days, everything is a knock off china manufactured part.

 

I normally go to Advance Auto Parts, but really any reputable Auto Parts store should have a good quality water pump. AutoZone, O'Reilly's, Advance Auto, or RockAuto. I guess it's all in what you want to spend. If you are looking for a higher end Water pump you could check with Summit Racing or Jegs.

 

Napa has better quality or buy oem from Dodge , Mopar always better in general
