I got a Duralast (AutoZone) which, I believe, was just a reboxed Dorman but $10 less. You could spend the extra money and get a Mopar but I'm 2 years and 20,000 miles into the Duralast and it's fine.

I originally replaced mine with one from AutoZone, and it came apart within a month. I use alot of parts from autozone and normally havent had any issues. I just feel a part this vital to engine performance should use a higher quality part.

Dorman is a name brand, except I feel that their quality has started to diminish as of late.. I say this because I sell their products..

maybe its just a bad couple of months, but far to many warranty returns processed with dorman labels
